UoH teachers, students join hands to protect land

Hyderabad, Feb 5 : University of Hyderabad (UoH) teachers and students on Friday organised a walk on the campus against encroachment of varsity land.
A Joint Action Committee comprising faculty, students and non-teaching staff organised the protest.
The University of Hyderabad Teachers Association (UHTA), the Non Teaching Association, UoH, the Students Union, and the Dalit Students Union participated in the walk.
They alleged that the land grabbers were making attempts to encroach upon the university land by demolishing the compound walls and laying roads.
An attempt was made on January 9 when a 100 feet compound wall was brought down using earth-movers.
The protestors marched from the Administration Block to the encroached land site. They raised slogans of ‘save university land’, ‘save not sale’ and ‘save university save education’ and carried placards.
