Hyderabad University on boil again over Rohith's memorial

March 31, 2016 09:53

A memorial -- comprising of photographs, messages and a cement "stupa"-- at Hyderabad University may soon be pulled down, which could ratchet up tension at the university where aggressive protests have led to student arrests and a mass leave by teachers in the past week.

On March 24, Vice Chancellor Appa Rao chaired a meeting, during which it was suggested that the Rohith Vemula memorial was an "illegal structure" on campus and would be taken down and protesters will be removed from there.

"The illegal structures must go, but we are not pushing it right now. We will first issue notices and then remove them," Rao qas quoted as saying to NDTV.
