Osmania University has started to put in place its plan of prohibiting the entry of private vehicles on its campus and also halt the use of the main campus road as a thoroughfare.
To start with, the university administration has decided to restrict entry of private heavy vehicles on the campus and accordingly started the implementation. In phases, the university plans to bar private two and four-wheelers also. Only bonafide students,
teaching and non-teaching staff with valid identity card are to be allowed on the campus.
The university took this decision so as to bring back the academic atmosphere, avoid accidents and also to maintain biodiversity on the campus. Though there is a ban on learning four/two-wheelers on OU’s premises, many continue to use the campus’ roads for the same. Recently, the administration fined 20 persons for doing so.
