Hundreds of students pursuing various engineering courses at the state-run Sri Krishnarajendra Silver Jubilee Technological Institute (SKSJTI) were forced to sit in the dark for the last 10 days as the power supply was cut off.
Following massive dues towards electricity bills, the Bengaluru Electricity Supply Company (BESCOM) disconnected the power supply and told the concerned college officials to pay the bill.
For the last 10 days, the college staff and students have been struggling as some of the classrooms have poor lighting and electricity is a must. According to college authorities, even the laboratories have been shut for the past 10 days with no practical classes conducted.
