Hyderabad: Students of the Telangana Social Welfare Girls’ Gurukul School at Gandhinagar in Kothaguda mandal of Mahabubabad district staged a protest on Thursday, demanding immediate steps to resolve a month-long water shortage at the campus.
The students came onto the road and held a dharna, saying the lack of water had disrupted their daily routine. They alleged that they struggled to use washrooms every morning because the school had no regular water supply.

They also alleged that some teachers harassed students for voicing their concerns.
