Karimnagar: Bereft of facilities, hostel kids shiver in biting cold

Karimnagar: The students residing in government are shivering as their hostel rooms have no window panes and have to nothing to keep them during the cold nights these days.

At the welfare hostels set up by the government for poor students in the district are reeling in the midst of problems.

In many places in Karimnagar district and other areas, there are no concrete buildings. They are still in rented buildings. The windows and doors are broken and the bed sheets needed by the students have not been distributed in some places.

In many places, students are taking bath with cold water in the winter. Many houses in the district are in the same situation. While there are 40 students in the government SC boy’s hostel in Huzurabad, the blankets were given last year and now many of them brought them from home and using them. Some of the window bars are broken.

Bathroom doors are rusted, hot water is not provided.

The geysers provided in the SC hostel in Jammikunta are not working. The geysers given last year are not working. In Manakondur integrated BC facility, there are about 143 students. Here also, students are suffering from cold.

In the Gangadhara boy’s hostel, the mosquito nets on the windows are torn, the geyser connections are not working, and the students are suffering from cold.
