Ramakrishna Reddy stated that in a recent meeting, the university authorities felt that frequent protests by student organisations were hampering the normal functioning of the administration. The administration had resolved to take steps to ensure peace on the campus by treating any obstructions caused by students, staff, organisations and outsiders in the smooth functioning as an offence. The student and staff organisations and outsiders were asked to follow democratic methods in representing their grievances by taking them to the notice of the officials concerned.
