Seeking the release of adequate grants for ensuring smooth functioning of Karnataka University, students and employees observed a bandh and staged a demonstration in Dharwad on Wednesday.
Under the aegis of Karnatak University Horata Samiti (Agitation Committee), students, university teachers, guest lecturers and non-teaching staff staged the demonstration in front of the administrative block of the university to press for their demands.
Raising slogans against the State government and Vice-Chancellor of the university, the protestors demanded the immediate release of adequate grants to bring the university out of the fiscal crisis. They threatened to intensify the agitation in the coming days, if their demands are not met.
