A rally taken out by Yuva Morcha activists to the office of Higher Education Minister R. Bindu at Irinjalakuda here demanding her resignation over various alleged corrupt practices in the higher education sector turned violent on Friday.
The police used water cannons to disperse the protesters who alleged that the Left Democratic Front (LDF) government was destroying the higher education sector in the State.
The march, organised by the Yuva Morcha Thrissur committee, started from Danavu Junction and was stopped by the police near the Minister’s office with barricades. The police used water cannons to disperse the protesters when they tried to push through the barricades.
