Students create ruckus in college to get back confiscated mobiles


Students in Palanpur’s BCA college run by Aanjana Kelavni Mandal created ruckus after the college administration confiscated mobile phones from the students and announced to give them back on 25th of the month.

In view of state government’s recent decision to ban mobile phones in schools and colleges, the college authority directed all students and faculty members not to bring mobile phones in campus. On Friday, the college administration carried out a search operation and confiscated total 150 mobile phones, two out of them were confiscated from the faculty members.

In reaction to this, the students created ruckus in the campus, as they wanted their mobile phones back.

The college administration however announced, that the students would get back their mobile phones only after five days, on 25 August. Not only this, but the students would also be punished for bringing mobile phones in class rooms even after they were instructed in prior, not to do so in view of Gujarat government’s recent directive.
