'Scuffle' leaves BJB college tense

BHUBANESWAR: A clash between two students' groups in BJB Autonomous College here on Friday was termed as "a scuffle and not ragging" by the authorities of the college. The authorities, however, have decided to go ahead with students' union elections in the campus after taking undertakings from students that no such incident will occur again.

Principal of BJB Autonomous College, Dusmant Sahu said, "It was not a case of ragging but a minor scuffle between two groups of students. Ours is a ragging-free campus and we have taken undertakings from students during admission to take action against those found involved in ragging activity."

A group of students sat on a dharna demanding a ragging-free campus and stopped outside students from entering the campus on Saturday. "There is tension in the campus and police deployment, which is not good for the academic atmosphere of the college. Such incidents bring a bad name to the college," said Ranjan Sahu, a student.
