In Hyderabad, police recently intervened to disrupt a protest rally organized by Osmania University students. The demonstrators, led by Motilal Naik, were advocating for significant reforms in job recruitment practices by the Telangana government. Their demands included the immediate release of a job calendar and an increase in job postings across various cadres such as Group I, II, III, and the District Service Commission (DSC).
Motilal Naik had been on an indefinite hunger strike for eight days, symbolizing the frustration of many students who have waited for job notifications for over a decade. The protest garnered attention when Siddipet MLA T Harish Rao visited Naik at Gandhi Hospital, expressing solidarity with the students’ cause.
This incident underscores ongoing tensions between student activism and government policies regarding job opportunities, particularly in the context of electoral promises and bureaucratic delays. The clash also highlights broader issues of youth unemployment and the persistent challenges faced by aspiring job seekers in the region.
