The proposal to let Government Boys’ College grounds to a private enterprise for holding an exhibition has been shelved.
Thousands of students, on Tuesday staged a peace protest, in front of deputy commissioner’s office opposing the plan of letting the ground to a private party.
Protesters took out a procession in the thoroughfare of the City. Students leaders spoke on the occasion and warned of intensifying the protest, if their demand was not met.

The decision was taken in a meeting of Deputy Commissioner, Superintendent of Police and officials of Education Department.
