JOWAI: The Kiang Nangbah Government College Students’ Union (KNGCSU) on Monday put the college under lock and key protesting the State government’s failure to fulfill its various demands including renovation and expansion of the college building. The agitating students’ body will march to the office of the Deputy Commissioner on Tuesday.
Students numbering more than a thousand locked all the gates of the college. In the afternoon, police in the presence of a magistrate broke all the locks.
