The unions questioned why colleges approached courts for fee hikes while failing to pay teachers’ salaries. They alleged that managements opposed biometric attendance only to avoid accountability. They also blamed the previous government for granting approvals to many colleges without checking standards.

Fact-finding committees set up by JNTU-H were called non-transparent, which unions said led to today’s crisis. They demanded that the vigilance report, prepared under the BRS government, be made public. The report contains details of institutions lacking labs, proper facilities, and qualified staff.

Student leaders insisted that such colleges must lose recognition immediately. They also urged the government to clear pending reimbursement dues quickly, so students would not suffer financial losses. The unions stressed that accountability and transparency are needed to protect both students and teachers.
