EFLU students detained by police during hunger strike

Hyderabad : Students of the English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU), Hyderabad, were forcibly detained by the cops from the Osmania police station on Sunday evening.
The students were on a 24-hour hunger strike with a demand to reopen the hostels, library and other campus facilities for the students. The hunger strike began at 12 PM outside Gate 2 of the university.
Students from EFLU have staged two sit-in protests so far, with the same demand in last one month. Both the times, negotiations were held between the administration and the students, but with no result.
The university administration promised to settle the issue and reopen the campus in a phased manner after asking the students to submit a detailed proposal with list of students who needed hostel accommodation.
Despite submitting a detailed proposal, the students have said that they never received any response on the proposal from the administration.
The Students’ Action Committee (SAC), an umbrella body of student groups formed specifically to work on the issue of reopening hostels and library facilities, conducted a survey which was filled by 845 students out of the 1300-strong student population of the varsity.
