A protest march led by the Thrissur District Congress Committee (DCC) to Sree Kerala Varma College in Thrissur on November 6, 2023 alleging malpractices in the recently held college union elections turned violent.
The march taken out from the DCC office was stopped by the police using barricades near the college. The police used water cannons when the protesters attempted to remove the barricades following which tension prevailed in the area for some time. Two persons injured in the incident were admitted to a hospital.
The Congress workers called for the resignation of Higher Education Minister R.
