Hyderabad: The mess facility for research scholars at Osmania University (OU) has once again been flooded following heavy rains on Tuesday, turning the dining area into an indoor pool. Videos circulating among research scholars show students forced to dine in waterlogged conditions, with water reaching ankle level on the floor.

In one of the videos, two students, one clad in a raincoat, can be seen manually scooping rainwater from the floor into a bowl, highlighting the severity of the situation.

According to new research scholars residing in the hostel, the waterlogging is due to persistent seepage from the rooftops. “This ongoing issue is unacceptable. Initially, water seepage affected only a single table, but now the entire rooftop is leaking, causing widespread waterlogging in the dining hall,” said Satya Nelli, a research scholar from the Political Science department at Arts College.

The research scholars also reported that the water seepage is not confined to the dining hall; it extends to the storeroom as well, raising concerns over potential health risks such as mold growth and sanitation problems.

This incident mirrors a similar situation from last year when research scholars, led by Satya, staged a protest by eating their meals on the waterlogged floor. Despite repeated assurances from the university administration, the problem has persisted for several years.
