5th sem gets crazier!

Its been almost 20 days since my college reopened. The 5th sem has been quite different from before. Friends have become a little closer, Subjects more connected to computers and ohh!! by the way we still have our same old comfortable class room.

And if it is the good news then the bad news is that.....

svist is closed for an indefinite period following a series of clashes between the second year and third year boys.Three 2nd year student of the College ware admitted to nearby HEALTH POINT nursing home.Residential students at its 6 hostels left the hostels as the authorities at an emergency meeting asked them to vacate the dorms.

The clash ensued at about 10:45am when the college bus came to the 3rd year students with full of second year students and there was no space inside the bus for third year students and at that time third year boys asked them to move to the second bus(there was another bus for the 2nd year boys) but they were not ready to hear them.They showed some bad gesture,used slang languages to them and then the real trouble began,a one-on-one fight between the 2nd and 3rd year students was witnessed.At that time the hostel warden,some hostel stuff and 2 or 3 local club member came to the spot to stop them but they were beaten up badly by the 2nd year students.After that Students of the Institute were targeted by the local club and they also informed to the local police station about the incident.In the meanwhile, after reaching to the college,three of the 2nd year boys injured themselves(had to hospitalize them) by breaking the glasses of some window and tried to put the blame on 3rd year students. By the afternoon, one jeep of Police were inside the college.Then the college administration react quickly.Soon after, the 2nd year students were presented before a panel of teachers (and representative from the college authority).After a lengthy discussion the 2nd year students promised to resolve the crisis and guaranteed that they'll not do such kind of things in the near future.However, the police officials warned both the 2nd and 3rd year students to not to do such kind of things for the 2nd time(otherwise they'll have to arrest them).Everything became fine that night.

But at the next morning the violence triggured up again when a 2nd year boy throw some bad comments against a 3rd year student. As the news spread the 3rd students started assembling in front of the academic building to show their solidarity.Their demands were simple -

1. Take stern action against the 2nd year boys
2. Apology of the 2nd year boys to the 3rd year boys.

But the college administration failed to react quickly and efficiently.When the 3rd year students urged the college authority to take action against the 2nd year boys,the authority did exactly the opposite.The authority simply chose to invest all their energy in harassing the 3rd students demonstrating peacefully.They were busy to save the 2nd year boys and threatened the 3rd year students to suspend them from the college.On the other hand,the crowd also continued to grow with every passing hour as the situation threatened to spiral out of control and it soon became evident that neither the teachers nor the college authority was interested in justice.Then the non-violent demonstration grew violent within few minutes and the college campus was engulfed in an unprecedented riots.The 2nd and 3rd year boys started fighting against each other again.The violence forced the administrations to convene an emergency meeting to discuss the situation to take an appropriate decision in this regard.

As evening approached the riot lost its momentum and seemed to come to an abrupt halt. Though the simmering tension in the atmosphere was easily perceivable. As things stand now, the college authority announced that the college will remain closed for an indefinite period of time with students instructed to vacate the hostel by 12 am the next day.So,people from outside far off places have no options left than moving to their friends/relatives home.

Actually,its astounding how the college administration managed to turn a peaceful demonstration into a violent riot. All that was required from the college administration was guts. Guts to punish the guilty. Guts to ignore external pressure. Guts to remain unbiased. But they failed. They failed the students, they failed themselves.

Well that's it for now.....Will report back if something happens.

Bye bye ....Take care!! :)
