Agitated on being denied holidays, students vandalise Narayana Junior college

Angry at being denied holidays, students of Narayana Junior College in Hyderabad's Nizampet area allegedly vandalised the classrooms of the institute, early on Wednesday morning.

Speaking to the local media, the second year students said that they were not given a single homesick leave from May, when the academic year started. They said that the administration refused to listen to multiple pleas, and said that only juniors were entitled to the leaves.

They also complained about the quality of food, and the hygiene in toilets.

Reports add that college staff alerted the police when they saw the mob of students, following which officials rushed to the spot.

Visuals from Tuesday night even showed police officers trying to negotiate with the students via a megaphone, as the teenagers continued to yell and should from inside the building.
