Mangaluru: A section of students on Monday staged a protest under the leadership of CFI when an issue related to head scarf surfaced at St. Agnes College that is located near Bendurwell in the city.

“At the beginning of the academic year itself, there was an attempt to prevent us from wearing scarf. But we were just opposing it. They insisted us on accepting the rules of the educational institution. They warned us of penalty. This is why we have boycotted classes to register a protest, "said the student. Meanwhile, college principal held talks with students and CFI leaders; but they did not yield any results.

Jesvina AC, principal of Saint Agnes College, said "St. Agnes College is a minority educational institution and we respect every student of this institution. In case of any problem, management will discuss with the students and parents and will resolve the issue."

New Delhi, Nov 17: Telugu star Allu Arjun, who launched the trailer of his upcoming film "Pushpa 2: The Rule" in Patna on Sunday, expressed gratitude to fans for showering their love on him by turning up in huge numbers for the event.

"Pushpa 2" is directed by Sukumar and also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Fahadh Faasil.

The trailer of the much-awaited sequel to 2021's "Pushpa: The Rise" was unveiled at the jam-packed Gandhi Maidan in the Bihar capital. Also present at the event was Rashmika, who plays Srivalli to Arjun's gangster Pushpa Raj.

It was Arjun's first visit to Bihar.

"I am grateful to all of you for your love and warm welcome," he said at the event.

"Pushpa kabhi jhukega nahin, lekin aaj pehli baar, aapke pyaar ke liye jhukega (Pushpa will never bow down in front of anyone, but for the first time, he will bow down only for your love)" the National Award winner said in reference to his popular dialogue from the 2021 original film.

"Thank you Patna, you have given me a lot of love," Arjun said as he asked the audience to forgive him for his "thoda galat" (poor) Hindi speaking skills.

A stampede-like situation erupted at the venue before the trailer launch began following which police resorted to a mild lathicharge to control the crowd.

Videos of a section of spectators from the same event hurling slippers towards the stage also started circulating on social media on Sunday evening.

Produced by Mythri Movie Makers and Sukumar Writings with music on T-Series, "Pushpa 2" will be released on December 5.
