Nearly 300 students of a government high school here Tuesday boycotted classes and staged a dharna demanding immediate opening of a recently built railway under bridge at a level crossing, which would help them avoid a two-km detour.
Protesting negligence by the railways, around 300 students boycotted classes and squatted in front of the school at Irugur, police said.
Police, however, managed to persuade the agitating students to disperse.
Most of the students have to cross the railway gate to reach the school and if it is closed they have to cover nearly two KMs to reach the school.
Though the under bridge was constructed to mitigate the sufferings of the students and the residents of the locality, it had not yet been opened.
