Birgunj, July 17:

Students of Thakur Ram Multiple Campus today announced indefinite closure of educational institutions in Birgunj to protest against the campus administration.

Students took out a rally and forced closure of education institutions in Birgunj. “Students and their parents are worried that the recent development and prolonged strike may compel students to go to other cities in search of colleges,” said Dr Dipak Shakya, director of BPC College.

“Some forces provoked student unions to create disorder in the educational sector here,” said chairman of Professors’ Society, Kripa Sindhu Choudhari.

Students of All Nepal National Independent Students’ Union – Revolutionary and some students of ANNFSU and NSU had forwarded 13-point demands to Thakur Ram campus administration including dissolving of Free Students’ Union (FSU).

The campus administration agreed to fulfil only 10 demands.

“We were compelled to close down the Thakur Ram Campus for indefinite period as students continued their protest,” said campus chief Uday Bahadur Silwal.

When the Thakur Ram Campus was shut, students called educational strike in all educational institutes in Birgunj.
