MANUU Land Dispute Escalates After Students Seek K. T. Rama Rao’s Support

A state show-cause notice to resume about 50 acres remains unresolved, with talks continuing between revenue officials and the university.

Overview

  • Telangana Revenue authorities issued a show-cause notice asking MANUU to explain why about 50 acres of vacant campus land should not be resumed.
  • A student delegation met BRS leader K. T. Rama Rao and warned of intensified protests if the state does not drop the move.
  • K. T. Rama Rao alleged the Congress government aims to seize and monetise the land for real estate purposes and pledged support to the students.
  • A senior MANUU panel previously examined and opposed PPP proposals for an AI data centre and a medical college on roughly 30 acres, citing autonomy concerns.
