Students of Nizam College staged a protest in Basheer Bagh on Monday, August 5, demanding that the authorities provide 100 percent allotment for hostel rooms to undergraduate female students. The protest caused a mild traffic jam from Liberty to Abids.

The ongoing protest intensified as students voiced dissatisfaction with the decision to split hostel allotments between postgraduate (PG) and undergraduate (UG) girl students.

The students expressed concern that they could not afford private hostels in the city due to high costs and maintenance.
