In the protest of the recommendations made by the Sri Krishna Committee Report, the Osmania University students protested which also involved stone pelting resulting in injuries to some police personnel stationed on the campus. The police in return had to fire tear gas shells on the agitating students. The report has also not received the positive response from the political parties as they claim it as more confusing on the issue of separate statehood.

Students have called a bandh tomorrow i.e. Friday to show the protest against the the recommendations of Srikrishna committee.
