Students' unrest in Visva-Bharati

Functioning of the 'Siksha Bhavana' (institute of science) in Visva-Bharati university was affected today after a section of the students locked the main entrance of the institute for around four hours.

University officials said the students did so to protest against some "objectionable" comments made by a teacher of the physics department about the students.

The situation was normalised after a discussion in between the agitating students and senior teachers, the officials said.
