Mixed response to SFI bundh
Deccan Herald News Service Bangalore:
The bundh call given by Student Federation of India (SFI) on Thursday in protest against the Supreme Court verdict banning government quota in professional colleges evoked mixed response across the state.
Most of schools and colleges functioned as usual in all the major cities including Bangalore, Hubli-Dharwad, Mysore and Mangalore.
However the SFI activists took out protest rallies across the State and submitted memorandum demanding a central legislation empowering state governments to fix quota in private professional colleges to safeguard the interest of poor and weaker sections of society.
In Dharwad SFI activists took out a rally and burnt the effigy of the state government.
In Mangalore, the bundh-call evoked poor response even though three High Schools and one college in the outskirts remained closed. The activists also held a demonstration in front of the DC office.
