Girl students of pvt teachers institute demand sacking of Secy

Demanding immediate removal of the secretary of a private teachers training institute near here for alleged sexual torture to students, eighty girls began an indefinite dharna in front of the institute today.

The students squatted in front of the institute at Karumathampatti, about 25 km from here, raising slogans against the secretary and demanded his immediate removal, police said.

They alleged that the secretary regularly shows students obscene pictures and makes vulgar gestures, leading to mental depression among many of them.

The students also said four of their friends who took on the official were left alone during a study tour, creating a psychological fear among them.
 

Though the management sought three days time for his removal, after police intervened, the students did not relent and demanded that he be sacked immediately.

The issue is being discussed by the management, police said.
