“May be the Government has utilized the amount meant for the students in a wrong manner,  and if it is so, we demand a CBI probe to investigate into this matter”, HYC said
The organization also served the decline of month to the government to solve the issue and asserted that it will resort to drastic steps if the demand was not met.
