Activists of the Andhra Pradesh unit of the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) were arrested by the police, who foiled their protest at the Intermediate Board office on Wednesday.
The SFI activists, led by their State president K. Prasanna Kumar and A. Ashok, staged a dharna at the Intermediate Board office demanding immediate steps to fill the vacant teacher posts in junior colleges across the State, free distribution of textbooks to students and implementation of the Mid-Day Meal scheme in junior colleges.
More than 45 activists, along with their leaders, were arrested and shifted to the police station.
