Students protest over delay in construction of compound wall
Students of the Government Boys First Grade College in the city staged a protest on Friday, condemning delay in construction of a compound wall to their college.

As a result, the school premises has reduced to be an open toilet for many outsiders and the students have to attend classes in such a pathetic environs, the protesters said.
Besides, uncleared heap of soil in the school has narrowed the space to move around.
Power facility to the school has been suspended and this has affected laboratory classes, they complained.
Despite writing letter to the authorities concerned, nothing has been done to expedite work on building a new compound, the protesters observed.
