A section of female students of Presidency University in Kolkata are staging a demonstration while gheraoing the dean on the campus for over 55 hours, demanding introduction of bus service between girls’ hostel and the varsity campus. The female students are demanding the reintroduction of bus service for boarders, which had been provided till 2019 but was discontinued after the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Friday evening, the development officer of the hostel, who was inside the room of the dean of hostels and under gherao by the agitating students, complained of physical discomfiture and was rushed to hospital. He was allowed to leave for home “on humanitarian grounds,” by the agitating students but the dean would be under gherao till the demand for introduction of four buses was met, one of the agitating borders Arunima Nayak told.
