Students of three colleges in the State have resorted to agitation pressing for various demands.
Protesting against the non-fulfilment of their long-pending demand for filling up of vacant lecturers’ posts, students of the Bonai College in Sundargarh district staged a protest at the college premises. Demanding transfer of the college Principal, they locked him up in a room.
As the college authorities turned a deaf ear to the repeated demands of the students, the latter resorted to an agitation demanding the Principal’s transfer.
The Vikram Dev College at Jeypore is also facing student unrest. Demanding appointment of lecturers and renovation of the college building, students of the college staged an agitation. They locked up the main gate of the institution disrupting classes and official work.
Students of the Fakir Mohan College at Baleswar have too launched a protest pressing for a series of demands.
