The notification comes in the wake of protests planned by the students of Osmania University and Telugu Desam Party. The police has cordoned off the Osmania University entrance and exit points to stop students from proceeding to the Assembly.

The Budget session of the Assembly is in progress, punctuated by protests by the legislators of Telugu Desam and Congress. The Speaker has suspended 10 TDP members as they disrupted the proceedings.
