OU students protest \'exorbitant\' mess fee at women\'s hostel

 Hyderabad: Students of Osmania University’s women's hostel staged a protest against 'exorbitant mess charges, camping on the road leading to the NCC gate. This resulted in a traffic jam and the police had to intervene on Friday night.

Students argued that the charges had become increasingly burdensome and were beyond their means, and demanded a rollback. Despite repeated pleas and attempts at negotiation by the police, the students refused to budge, intensifying the tension on the campus. 

University authorities have yet to comment officially on the matter, leaving the issue unresolved.
