Hyderabad: St. Ann's degree college students protest on removal wine shop

The students of St Ann's degree and PG college on Monday staged a protest against the new wine shop near the college building in Hyderabad.

The shop in the area would also bring problems as it is also near the bus stop where the students take the bus to travel.
