Violence erupts during SFI march

The Hindu  

The march by the Students Federation of India activists to the Revenue Divisional Office in Kanhangad on Tuesday turned violent, forcing police to resort to lathi-charge the protesters. The SFI members, led by its Kasaragod district Secretary Shalu Mathew, took out the march to the RDO office this afternoon accusing the government of scuttling the admission norms by empowering the self-financing engineering colleges in the State to enrol 65 per cent students under the management quota. Lathi-charge The police later resorted to lathi-charge to force the protestors to disperse from the spot, injuring several SFI workers including Mr. Shalu Mathew. The SFI activists flayed the State government for issuing a circular last week allowing self financing engineering colleges to make 65 per cent admission under the management quota, thereby upsetting the 50 per cent admission for meritorious students. Inaugurating the march, SFI central committee member M. Shajar said the move would deny seats to meritorious students while facilitating admission to those capable of paying huge sums.
