Andhra Pradesh

Officials outsmarted

The Dasara holidays have begun early for those studying in corporate colleges. Generally, these colleges would give scant regard to the official announcement of holidays. But this time, the students were asked to go home on October 1 , while holidays were declared from October 5. Reason…the colleges apparently wanted to escape from the inspections being conducted by officials following the Narayana college mishap . The authorities were somewhat rendered speechless with this clever move, but assert that the inspections would continue after the vacations.
