Announce Engineering Fee Structure: ABVP
ABVP activists picket Ministers' Quarters in Hyderabad, protesting the government's move to go ahead with counseling for engineering colleges without prescribing the fee structure.
Tension prevailed at the Ministers' Quarters in Banjara Hills, when students, under the aegis of Akhila Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad, tried to picket the area protesting the government's move to go ahead with counseling for engineering colleges without prescribing the fee structure.
Raising slogans against the government's decision to set conditions for implementing the scheme, the ABVP students alleged that the government wants to dilute the fee reimbursement scheme and backing off from it because of its financial constraints.
They demanded that the government implement the fee reimbursement scheme in letter and spirit, since, they said, it has benefitted thousands of poor and middle-class students and enabled them to pursue their higher education. They also said that the government must implement the scheme for all eligible students.
The ABVP students had a heated argument with the police over the issue, at Minister's Quarters. Sensing that the situation might go out of control, the police arrested the activists and shifted them to a nearby police station. (INN)
