Law College indefinitely closed following student unrest in Salem

September 03, 2010 12:12 pm | Updated 12:12 pm IST - SALEM:

The Central Law College here has been indefinitely closed from Thursday following student unrest.

Sit-in strike

A press release from its Chief Executive Officer A. Manickam said that students had been staging a sit-in strike in the college in protest against the poor percentage of results in the examinations held in May by Dr. Ambedkar Law University.

The college management held talks with the students but in vain.

Hence, as per the demand of students, a Senate member from the University came and met students, who also submitted a petition.

Assurance

The member also assured them that he would do the needful for the welfare of students for which he said he needed time.

Agitation

But the students had refused to accept his demand and continued their agitation inside the college.

Hence the college administration had decided to close the institution indefinitely.
