The students of the Government Autonomous College here took out a cycle procession and shouted slogans in protest against non-fulfilment of their demands before reaching the district Collectorate.

The students alleged that although the college principal and local MLA Pradeepta Naik had promised them on August 18 that their demands would be met 'very soon,' no steps have been taken in this regard till now.

The students submitted a memorandum to the district Collector, reiterating their demands, which included filling up of vacant posts of lecturers, supply of books to library, provision of drinking water, electricity, introduction of M Phil, M Sc and M Com courses, posting of a permanent principal, holding of students' union elections and an investigation into misappropriation of lakh of rupees allocated under the Central Government schemes in Thuamul-Rampur block. Collector Pramod Chandra Pattnaik assured the students to meet their demands within a week.
