The private professional colleges, which commenced indefinite closure of institutions from Monday over fee reimbursement dues, announced ‘Chalo Secretariat’ with 10 lakh students on November 11.
Prior to the march towards Secretariat, the colleges will be holding a massive protest with around 30,000 staff, including teaching and non-teaching 
members, against the State government demanding release of their promised fee dues.
The Federation of Associations of Telangana Higher Institutions (FATHI) comprising private professional colleges reiterated that they will continue to shut their institutions until the government clears Rs.5,000 crore out of Rs.10,000 crore fee reimbursement arrears.
