OU threatens to cut off power, water supply for “non-boarders”
Cutting off the power and water supply, seeking police help to evacuate “non boarders” from the Osmania University hostels are some tough decisions in the offing so as to refurbish hostels and provide better amenities, to legitimate boarders, according to a press statement.
Hyderabad: Cutting off the power and water supply, seeking police help to evacuate “non boarders” from the Osmania University hostels are some tough decisions in the offing so as to refurbish hostels and provide better amenities, to legitimate boarders, according to a press statement.
The University maintained that such measures would prompt students to vacate and enable the administration to undertake renovation work.
In a statement, the University stated that it continues to bear the financial burden towards power and water supply though regular courses are yet to take off, barring research activity. This is the opportune time to fix all problems related to amenities in the hostels when classes have not yet commenced for the second year and admissions for the 2017-2018 session are in progress, the University argued.
The University plans to seek police help to evacuate “non boarders” and has cautioned them that the authorities would not step in and intervene in case of police raids.
Continuing its efforts to evict non boarders, the University had urged them to immediately move out voluntarily. The administration also pointed out that some hostels are in a dilapidated and deplorable state as they were built several decades back. The facilities in the hostels have come under a great strain and overcrowding has compounded the problem.
