Telangana Schools Close for Bandh Over NEET Irregularities

In Nalgonda district, Telangana, schools and colleges were closed on Friday because of a bandh called by students' unions.

These unions, including the Students Federation of India and others, want the Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan, to resign because of problems with the NEET exams.

They also want an investigation into an attack on protestors in New Delhi, the cancellation of the National Testing Agency, and the withdrawal of the Viksit Bharat Shiksha Adhishthan (VBSA) Bill.

The unions contacted school and college managements to enforce the bandh, and some institutions had already declared a holiday for the day.
