During the confrontation, student leaders expressed their discontent by throwing eggs at the police. They vowed to continue their protest marches across the state
They alleged about the irregularities in the education system, rising unemployment in the state, and other issues.
State Student Congress president Yasir Nawaz led the rally. They raised the slogan Chhatra Anibe Parivartan (students will bring a change) and urged students of the state to wake up.
“CM Naveen Patnaik has not been able to do his duties towards the state in the last 25 years. He is encouraging growth of private schools and colleges instead of filling the vacant teaching posts in government institutions,” told Nawaz to media.
He added, “The Goonda raj is going on in the colleges. But we will not rest till we get an answer from Naveen Patnaik.”
