SHILLONG: The HYC on Monday slammed the State Government for spending over Rs 2 crore on Bollywood movie Rock On 2 while neglecting the students’ plight.

Addressing reporters after meeting Education Minister, RC Laloo, Dohling said, “A lot of students are facing hardships due to the delay in disbursement of scholarships. While the scholarships for the year 2015-16 have been released, that for 2014-15 is yet to be made available.” The minister assured the delegation to take up the issue with the concerned authorities in Delhi.
