Hyderabad: While the OU beef festival controversy rages on, another festival has been planned in OU which might evoke unpleasant reactions from some sections of people. Some students of OU have decided to conduct a pandi kura panduga or pork festival this month, soon after the beef festival.

One of the organisers of the pork festival in Osmania University said, "Pork is considered a delicacy and is an important part of the diet for many in the country. It is one of the most commonly consumed meat in northeastern part of the country and many Dalits and even people belonging to other castes consume pork. The pork festival does not have any connection with the beef festival in OU or with organizations that are conducting it."

The festival date has not yet been decided but it is expected to be conducted a few days after the beef festival, which is being planned for December 10.
