Governor Removes OU Convocation From Agenda

Governor E S L Narasimhan, who was invited to Osmania University's 79th convocation ceremony as the chief guest, has now backed out from the same keeping in mind his own safety. National Research Prof. Govardhan Mehta has been called in as a replacement.

Meanwhile, OUJAC members, who have been issuing threats that they won't allow anyone anti-Telangana into the campus, have called for a campus-wide bandh. Heavy police forces have been deployed in OU, and entry into the campus has been restricted.

Several members of OUJAC are also due to receive their convocation certificates today.

It may be mentioned that rumours of the governor having advised the centre against bifurcation has given rise to a hue-and-cry among Telangana activists.
