JAMMU, Sept 29: Students continued their separate protests against the Higher Education Department seeking increase in Undergraduate seats in all the constituent colleges of Cluster University Jammu.
A group of protesting students came out of Government College for Women at Gandhi Nagar and tried to block the main road in support of their demand for increasing the intake capacity and infrastructure improvement in all the constituent colleges.
However, the protesters were persuaded and driven back into the college premises by a strong posse of policemen who were rushed to maintain law and order.
Meanwhile, activists of NSUI assembled near the Press Club Jammu and torched an effigy of Higher Education Department to protest the denial of admission to the students by the Cluster University.
“The Cluster University of Jammu is playing with the future of the students who despite securing above 85 percent marks in the class 12 examination are not getting admission in the colleges,” said Sunny Parihar who was leading the protest.
Students affiliated with the ABVP also took to the streets at different places and staged peaceful protests in support of the aggrieved students and sought their admission.
