MANUU Land Dispute Eases After Talks
Students from Moulana Azad National Urdu University in Telangana were upset because the government wanted to take back 50 acres of land from their university.
The students thought this was unfair and would hurt their studies.
They met with a leader from the BRS party to discuss their protest.
The BRS leader said the government is trying to take the land for real estate and promised to help the students if his party comes back to power.
The students warned that if the government doesn't stop, they will protest more and it will hurt the Congress party's image.
Later, university representatives met with government officials to discuss the issue.
The officials were happy with the university's plans and said they would withdraw the notice if the university provides a written explanation.
Students of MANUU protested Telangana government's plan to take back 50 acres of university land.
Revenue authorities issued a show-cause notice to the university for not using the land as intended.
