Clashes After Students not Allowed to Appear in Exam, Eight Injured
PULWAMA; Scores of graduation students Wednesday hurled stones on a government college in South Kashmir when authorities did not allow them to appear in English examination being conducted for the first year of the three-year degree.
At least eight students, including girls, were injured in the clashes. The government college in Pulwama did not permit more than 80 students to appear in the examination after which agitated students resorted to violence and attacked college staff and building with stones.
Police was called in to disperse the students and during the clashes at least 8 students were injured.
Some of the students told a news gathering agency that University of Kashmir and college management is playing with their careers and the way they were not permitted to sit in the examination proves that they don’t care for the students.
“We were barred on the pretext that we did not sit for English paper in during mid-term examination. If such was the case then how come University of Kashmir demanded fee from us and issued roll number slips. It indicates that University of Kashmir takes the career of students casually,” a student, Javid Ahmed, said.
Students alleged that college staff misbehaved with them and dragged out the female students from the examination halls. The agitated students continued to protest even after the assurance given to them by Additional Deputy Commissioner.
Some of the injured students were identified as Rizwan-ul-Haq, Mir Imran, Adil Ahmed Khan, Arifa Akhtar and Amir Bashir.
The college principal, Mushtaq Ali Mir, admitted the Kashmir university had made a mistake by issuing the roll numbers in the favour of students even after implementing single paper scheme.
He said for the first time Kashmir University has implemented single paper scheme under which only those students are eligible for appearing the examination who would have passed mid-term examination. “I did not allow these students under rules and if they have any grievances they could simply contact Controller Examination Kashmir University,” he said.
