Hyderabad: Minister for Excise and Youth Affairs, V. Srinivas Goud has intervened and spoke to the Vice Chancellor of the Osmania University and told him to continue the sports hostel which has noted athletes who represented the State and the country.
A delegation comprising of former International, National and current athletes from the Osmania University met the Minister and requested him to take action against shifting of the sports hostel from the University.
