Pandoh (Mandi), June 30
Telangana Home Minister N Narsimhan Reddy today held the management of the engineering college whose 24 students drowned in the Beas, equally responsible for the mishap on June 8.

He said: “The management of the college, is as much responsible for the mishap as the Larji Dam management is. An FIR would be registered against the college for negligence and callousness.”

“The college was granted permission to take the students on an industrial tour but they were taken to Manali and other places without taking security measures,” he added.

Reddy said: “The Telangana Government would hold an inquiry against the college management and ensure justice to the grief-stricken families.”
