The ongoing agitation against the proposed bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh was casting its shadows on the process of admission of engineering colleges. While at some places in Andhra-Seema students and the supporters of united Andhra Pradesh blocked the counselling , at many other places in the teachers and other officials boycotted the process creating obstacles.
Meanwhile, a group of students have approached the High Court in Hyderabad seeking its intervention to stop the process. The High Court accepted the petition for hearing. The petitioner stated that the engineering admission counselling was not progressing correctly at 23 places in Andhra-Seema regions. The court ordered the Director General of Police and Inspectors General of Police of the two regions to submit their reports by Wednesday.
