The Pioneer, Aug 20, 2007

Bhawanipatna: Hundreds of irate students demonstrated on Saturday in the premises of their Government Autonomous College here demanding fulfilment of vacant posts of lecturers, supply of library books and provision of drinking water, electricity and canteen facility. Principal Prabhudatta Mohapatra assured the students to meet their demands. Local MLA and former minister Pradipta Naik, who was going outside the college, was stopped by the students and urged to solve their problems. Naik said he would intimate the matter to the district Collector soon. The students also marched on the college road shouting slogans in support of their demand for a new bridge on Pipal Nala.
