The protesting students locked the main gate of the university. The professors, faculties, registrar, teaching and non-teaching staffs could not enter the university premises.

The vice chancellor was even standing outside the gate for 30 minutes. The police officers and the security guard of the university later rescued him. They students, teachers who were not in the protest returned after being restricted from entering in the university.

However, the protesting students said, the Vice-Chancellor was not in his office for some days. He was scheduled to join on Friday. “We had planned the protest on Friday. The protest will continue in future as well,” said a protesting student.
