BHUBANESWAR: Unrest prevailed in Utkal University on Tuesday as hundreds of students staged a protest and blocked the main gate over delay in restoration of electricity on the campus. The students alleged that despite their active participation in rebuilding work post-cyclone Fani, the power supply is yet to be restored in the university. Hundreds of students staying in hostels are facing serious inconvenience due to delay in restoration of power which in turn has also affected water supply, said an agitator.
“Many of us stayed back at hostels during the cyclone in view of the examinations. However, we are facing lot of difficulties due to unavailability of power and water,” said another agitating student. It is unfortunate that despite being located in the heart of the City, the university is yet to get electricity, he added.
