YSRCP Leaders Protesting over Relocation of 480 Tribal Students From Marikavalasa Gurukulam Arrested
Police detained YSRCP leaders as parents and students opposed the state plan to convert the tribal residential school into a Centre of Excellence.
- On Tuesday, police detained several YSR Congress Party leaders, including former Deputy Chief Minister Pushpa Sreevani, while supporting protests against the discontinuation of the AP Tribal Welfare Residential School in Marikavalasa.
- The State Government plans to convert the Marikavalasa school into a Centre of Excellence for NEET and IIT coaching, an initiative affecting nearly 2,000 students across four state facilities including Meghadrigedda, Tadikonda, and Kota.
- Amid ongoing uncertainty, around 70 students have obtained Transfer Certificates as families continue opposing the relocation and submitting resolutions to authorities demanding the school remain at its original Marikavalasa campus.
- Authorities moved detained leaders, including Sreevani and former minister Pasupulleti Balaraju, to various police stations. The YSRCP denounced these arrests, urging the administration to address tribal families' concerns rather than using force.
- Demanding the government reconsider the conversion, the YSRCP stated that infrastructure enhancements should not come at the cost of "Education against their families," while seeking a Government Order for the school's continuation.
