KARIMNAGAR, AUGUST 21, 2026: The Telangana Recognised Schools Management Association (TRSMA) Karimnagar district unit has strongly condemned the brutal killing of Kallu Roopa Reddy, the principal and director of Nagarjuna Grammar Concept School in Kondamallepally, Nalgonda district, who was stabbed to death recently.
They demanded that the government bring in the Teachers Protection Act and declare a drug-free school zone. Appealing for the constitution of an emergency response system, the TRSMA also sought zero tolerance around the school premises and intensified police patrolling.

He expressed concern over the ganja and drugs around the vicinity of the schools, which were spoiling the future generation.
Demanding the Teachers Protection Act, Mr Shekhar Rao said that the government should take measures to create a conducive atmosphere in the schools to discharge their duties without any fear.
