Hyderabad: More than 250 students of the Koti Women’s College protested the construction of the Metro Rail behind their college building claiming that they would lose their privacy.
The proposed new Metro route diverted from Badi Chowdi, taking a left turn towards Tilak Road and passing behind the Koti Women’s College has left the students upset. They staged a protest from 11.30 am to 1.30 pm demanding that their privacy must be protected.
Sri K.V. Teja, a student, said, “How will we concentrate on our studies if we have the Metro passing by our college so often? How will we be able to enjoy the freedom that we currently have? We sit in the college compound, study and also chat with our friends. The Metro will violate our privacy.” The students have registered their protest with the principal.
