Telangana Issues Notice on MANUU’s Unused 50 Acres as Students and Opposition Push Back

Overview

• Ranga Reddy district issued a show-cause notice over about 50 acres recorded as unutilised from the 200 acres allotted to MANUU in 1998.
• The notice cites records that roughly 150 acres have been developed and seeks an explanation for the remainder lying vacant.
• MANUU’s registrar said a detailed reply will be submitted after review, noting DPRs for new buildings are awaited from CPWD for submission to the Education Ministry.
• Students under the MANUU Students Collective held protests on campus, arguing the land is needed for hostels and academic expansion and that delays stem from bureaucratic processes.
• BRS leader K. T. Rama Rao and Union MoS Bandi Sanjay Kumar condemned the notice and threatened legal or political action, while minister Jupally Krishna Rao said the government granted time to respond and intends only to ensure proper use.
