HYDERABAD: Demanding better infrastructure facilities, students of English and Foreign Languages University (EFLU) boycotted classes and staged a massive protest on the university campus on Friday.
About five hundred students staged a dharna in front of the administrative building demanding better mess facilities, classrooms and subsidised food.
According to students, the main mess hall was not large enough to accommodate the increased student strength and that even the staff was not up to the mark.
"Hardly 100 students can sit and eat at a time in the mess hall. Scores of others have to wait outside for their turn," research scholar Gurram Sitaramulu said.
University officials agreed that the existing mess facilities had to be upgraded. "The number of students has almost doubled to 1250 in the last three years due to introduction of new courses. We have been developing the infrastructure accordingly and the mess building will also be extended," registrar P Bapayya said.
