Students of the National Law University, Odisha (NLUO) here on Wednesday, holding placards and shouting slogans, launched an indefinite agitation in the university premises pressing for fulfilment of various demands.
The students alleged that several issues have been plaguing the university for years, but the authorities have turned a deaf ear towards the same. The demands include improving campus placement, constructing a world-class library and renovating the girls’ hostel.
“A world-class library was promised since long but no progress has been made in this regard yet.
Besides, the authorities have increased the admission fees by around Rs 30,000 without any explanation.
Though the students’ body has raised these issues many times, no significant move has been taken by the administration in the matter,” said Jeevan, a student.
The students also slammed the authorities for its callous attitude in carrying out development work of basic infrastructures in the university. The agitators also threatened to continue their protest until their demands are not fulfilled.
