Students Boycotted Collage For Srilankan Issue
A section of students in the Government Arts and Science college here on Thursday boycotted classes and staged a demonstration. They were protesting against the Sri Lankan army's ongoing offensive in the island nation's northern parts. Meanwhile, 75 students of Government Law college here are observing fast, seeking Centre's immediate intervention to ensure ceasefire in Sri Lanka, police said. The students of Arts colleges, affiliated to SFI, shouted slogans against both Indian and Sri Lankan Governments and demanded that Sri Lanka end the war.
The media here today paid homage to K Muthukumaran, who committed suicide by self immolation at Chennai to express solidarity with Tamils in Sri Lanka. Nearly 60 reporters, photographes and cameramen from various organisations and associations gathered at Red Cross Building junction and lit candles as part of the respect to the departed soul. Muthukumar was working in a Tamil Magazine.
