Students stage demonstration seeking bus services, scholarships

They, however, welcome the move to restart offline classes

Demanding various facilities such as bus services and scholarships, scores of students staged a demonstration in Dharwad on Thursday.

Staging the demonstration in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office under the aegis of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishat (ABVP), the students said that they welcome the move to restart offline classes. However, the authorities have failed to ensure the required bus services for those coming to institutions in Dharwad from villages, they said.

As classes are being held in different sessions, there is a need to run bus services to suit the requirements of students. However, even those services that were suspended during the lockdown have not been resumed yet, they said.
