STUDENTS OF Kulbhaskar Ashram Degree College (KADC) went on the rampage and reportedly damaged the ongoing construction of a petrol pump adjacent to the KADC and staged a demonstration at the principal’s office here on Saturday.
The students claimed that the petrol pump was being constructed on the encroached land of KADC.
The irate students broke the installed iron sheets and damaged the boundary wall of the petrol pump. The students reached the principal’s office and shouted slogans against the college administration.
The students said that the KADC management sold the college land without informing the principal and the students. They said that the land was being used by the college for practicals and claimed that the college administration had also received grant from UGC against the land.
They said that they had already handed over memorandum to KADC principal and of KP Trust chairman against sale of the college land. Police rushed to the spot and took control over the situation.
KADC principal Dr AK Srivastava denied of the charges framed by the students and said that the said land was the property of KP Trust, which permitted the college to carry out practicals on the land. No written agreement or documentation was done by the trust in this regard with the college. He said that the authority to take any decision regarding the land rested in the hands of the KP Trust and they were free to take any decision. He said one of the so-called student leaders was not the regular student of the college.
