Students at the University of Hyderabad staged protests against the Telangana government's decision to auction 400 acres of forest land in Kancha Gachibowli for IT parks. The land, originally allocated for the university, has been a site of contention. Protesters argue the move disregards Telangana’s history and ecological concerns. The Telangana High Court previously directed the state to register the land under the university, but officials claim legal loopholes justify the sale. Critics accuse the government of prioritizing corporate interests over education and the environment. "This land is our legacy," a protester said. Opposition parties demand the auction be halted.
