Campus violence

After the new government had taken office, its student wing went berserk in some high seats of learning. They are resorting to violent means to intimidate the students who follow other ideologies. Chase and counter case, indecent slogans, violent clashes --all these have become common phenomena in some of our public universities and colleges. Needless to say, it is the common students who have to bear the brunt of this spate of violence on campus. We think that the recent rise of student unrest has something to do with the lenient stance of the government in power on the issue of student politics. This goes on to explain the laidback approach of the university administration and law enforcers who are supposed to maintain order in the universities. In the past we saw many instances of unscheduled closure of the educational institutions that results in the so-called ''session jam''. We hope that the present government, popular that it is, will do everything to maintain a congenial environment in the public universities.
