Students block road

Third year undergraduate students of the Government Arts College for Men staged a road blockade on Tuesday morning demanding free laptops. As many as 80 students squatted on the Bangalore-Chennai National Highways demanding the authorities to issue laptops immediately.

The college principal tried to pacify the students. Krishnagiri Tahsildhar Maheshwaran and Inspector Anbumani reached the college and held talks with the students.

The students said that if they were provided laptops it would be useful for them for project work.
