Hyderabad, Apr 1 (UNI) Protests by students and politicians gained momentum over the land dispute at Hyderabad Central University (HCU).
On Tuesday, some BJP leaders and MLAs who were against the HCU land auction are scheduled to visit the university. Police have stationed officers at the main gate of HCU and the Hyderguda Quarters in anticipation of disturbances. To keep them from getting to the location, few BJP leaders, including BJLP leader Eetti Maheswar Reddy, have been placed under house arrest.
Meanwhile, the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has called for a dharna near the HCU entrance, adding to the tensions. Student unions have also joined the protest, declaring a class boycott in response to the ongoing land dispute.
