Hyderabad: The Federation of Telangana Higher Educational Institutions on Wednesday said it has postponed the planned strike by private colleges across the State. The decision followed an assurance from the government to release part of the pending fee reimbursement dues.
Earlier, the federation had announced that all private degree, engineering, pharmacy, and B.Ed colleges in Telangana would go on strike from October 13. Their key demand was the release of ₹1,000 crore in long-pending reimbursement funds.
