A committee of parents' associations met Reddy here and complained about the prolonged closure of schools even after the Dusshera vacation, which ended on October 9, in the city and other parts of Telangana region.
All educational institutions should be kept out of the strikes. The students' careers should not be jeopardised, the worried parents told the chief minister.
Reddy assured the parents that government is taking steps to get the educational institutions re-opened.
Later, the committee members told reporters they request Telangana Joint Action Committee not to play with the careers of students.
"When bars, shopping malls, cinema halls and other establishments are doing their business without any hindrance, why are educational institutions being forced to shut down?" an angry parent questioned.
"We will wait till October 15 when the TJAC will meet to decide on the course of the ongoing general strike. If they don't let educational institutions function, we will sit and chalk out our course of action," a member said.
