Wearing black badges, several hundred teachers and students yesterday observed 'Student-Teacher Repression Day' on the campus and announced two-day protest programme on the occasion. They formed a large human chain in front of the central library and held a protest rally there demanding withdrawal of all the false cases filed against RU teachers and students. They also demanded compensation to family of the rickshaw puller who was 'killed by law enforcers' on August 23, 2007 in front of RU Medical Centre.
