The battle for Telangana intensified dramatically after students belonging to various colleges, affiliated to universities in the region & staged protests around the periphery of the state Assembly on Monday. The waves of protests ultimately forced the police to lob around 13 shells of teargas to calm down the agitating students at the Nizam College Hostel.

As part of this demand, the students also sought the state government to do its bit by introducing a resolution in the state Assembly, urging the Centre to table the bill. The students also warned the government of dire consequences and relentless protests till their demands are met.
