Jammu, Dec 08 (NAK): While Vice Chancellor Jammu University Prof Amitab Mattoo assured fool-proof security arrangement in and around campus, the ongoing protest demonstrations in the Varsity continued for the third consecutive day today.
Students gathered outside the administrative block, for the third consecutive day today, and stage a protest demonstration. Raising slogans against the University authorities, the protestors were demanding complaints registered against some student leaders by the authorities.
The protestors burnt down effigy of VC and threatened that they will intensify the agitation in case the authorities failed to concede their demands.
Meanwhile, in an attempt to ease out the situation, Vice Chancellor Prof. Amitabh Mattoo today visited Nehru Hostel and Swami Vivekanand Hostel and assured the scholars and students that adequate security arrangements would made in hostels and campus premises.
Accompanied by senior officials of the campus, the VC announced that the 24 hours security would be placed in service in and around the hostel premises so as to ensure safety of the students.
“The security system of the University will be further strengthened with the help of the state police till deemed necessary," assured Vice Chancellor adding that those students indulging in unlawful activities and harassment of the students in the hostels will be dealt with iron hands and action against those will be initiated according to the law.
Vice Chancellor also assured the Scholars and students that action against the culprits will be initiated immediately after the submission of the inquiry report on Sunday.
Clashes broke out on Thursday after some outsiders barged inside one of the boy’s hostel and thrashed some students. The students alleged that they were regularly being harassed by their seniors on the name of ragging.
The situation turned ugly when on next day students entered into administrative block and broke furniture and other fixtures on the campus, while protesting against the failure of the authorities to provide security to students and hostel inmates.

The Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) General Body Meeting also major project of Children's Park worth Rs 52 crore are approved.
In the General Body Meeting also major project of Children's Park worth Rs 52 crore and other civic work worth Rs 20 crore are approved. besides, renting of shops of Shirvane's Shopping Complex proposal was initially not approved by any corporator, rather 13 corporators opposed it. "Ideally, once the proposal is opposed by maximum corporators, it should be disapproved by the House and should come back for discussion only after three months. But, ruling party took up the proposal in the same meeting and sanctioned it. This itself indicates how ruling party is using their 'power' in the corporation's work," stated Namdeo Bhagat, Congress' Nerul Corporator.
However, Standing Committee Chairman Sandeep Naik denied all the allegations and said, "All corporators are unanimously approving all civic tender proposals, because corporation election will be held next year, and all of them will be answerable to the public. Therefore, they are giving immediate approvals to civic tenders like condominium work and so on."
