Students protest against canteen contractor

October 22, 2016 12:00 am | Updated December 02, 2016 10:55 am IST - VELLORE:

Students of Voorhees College on Friday staged a protest on the college premises demanding the management to submit a complaint to the Superintendent of Police against the canteen contractor for allegedly threatening the principal and bursar.

On August 8, students had ransacked the canteen as the contractor was serving poor quality food and was verbally abusing students and faculty members.

Arul Raj was running the college canteen for one year, and his brother had often verbally abused the staff and students.

Following this incident, a complaint was lodged at the Vellore South police station. The college authorities decided to cancel the canteen agreement. “However, the canteen was still in his possession. On Wednesday, the contractor and his brother again threatened the principal and bursar. They alleged that their bike parked on the college premises was stolen,” a staff said.

A complaint has been submitted to the SP.
