Hyderabad: Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivas Yadav today said a large number of students in various hostels will remain here safely like our children.
Srinivas Yadav appealed to parents and students, most of them from Andhra Pradesh, not to get scared. “The students are our children and hostels managements were instructed to take care of them. The State government has spoken to the hostels & managements to see that the students will not vacate”, he said. He also inspected several shops and a supermarket in the city in the wake of lockdown to fight against coronavirus spread. At the supermarket, the minister expressed his anguish at the owner for selling essential commodities with Rs 15 different compared to other stores in the city.
The minister also warned the black marketers of severe action under the PD Act against them if they failed to follow norms at crisis time. He said that the State government instructed the officials to take immediate action against such erring shops and markets for selling essentials at higher prices.
Earlier, the minister held a meeting with the hostel management and their owners. The government will extend support to the hostels which will cooperate, he added.
