Osmania University is witnessing probably an even worse wave of violence than all of last month. Students’ agitation there began last night, soon after the Centre’s statement that was perceived as yet another betrayal to the acuse of separate statehood.
The TRS has called for a 48-hour "peaceful bandh", which got kick-started with over-the-top reactions from youngsters all over the Telangana region. And Osmania University's just one of the venues where the story is unfolding.
Thousands of students are now at the Osmania University campus protesting. Police have not only resorted to lathi charges, but have started shooting off rubber bullets as well. Rubber bullets are rubber or rubber-coated projectiles that are commonly useed in riot control and to disperse protests.
