Students of Chikkiah Naicker College staged a demonstration on Tuesday accusing the management of adopting a vindictive attitude against those who had taken part in demonstrations demanding the institution’s conversion into a Government college.
Complaining that a section of them were being marked absent despite attending classes regularly, the students demanded prompt intervention by District Collector S. Prabakar.
Members of Students Federation of India were particularly targeted by the college management, the protesting students said.
The college authorities declared a holiday on Tuesday in view of the protest by students.
