Gurukul gates locked, Ponnam directs Collectors to initiate action

BC Welfare Minister Ponnam Prabhakar directed the district Collectors to initiate action as per law against those who locked the gates of Gurukuls at different places in protest against delay in payment of rents.

Post Dasara holidays, Gurukuls and colleges were opened across the State. However, at a



few places, the building owners locked the gates demanding the government to clear pending rents.

The BC Welfare Minister while speaking to media persons here on Tuesday found fault with the building owners. He said nearly 70 percent of the gurukuls and colleges were being operated from rented buildings.
