Scarf issue at St. Agnes College: Students protest by boycotting classes
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."

Shreyas Iyer becomes most expensive IPL buy at Rs 26.75 crore, goes to PBKS
Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) (PTI): India batter Shreyas Iyer became the most expensive player in the history of IPL as Punjab Kings broke the bank to buy him for Rs 26.75 crore in the tournament's mega auction here on Sunday.
Iyer surpassed the record held by Australian pacer Mitchell Starc, who was bought by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 24.75 crore in the last auction.
Among others, Left-arm seamer Arshdeep Singh's consistency earned him a massive bid of Rs 18 crore, also from Punjab Kings via the Right to Match card, while South African speedster Kagiso Rabada was bought for Rs 10.75 crore by Gujarat Titans.
Iyer, the former Kolkata Knight Riders captain, started with a base price of Rs two crore.
Delhi Capitals had the bid at Rs 26 crore for him but PBKS raised the amount to get the player.
Chennai Super Kings started with the first bid for Arshdeep, whose base price was also Rs two crore.
Eventually, after an intense bidding war, the seamer was bought back by Punjab, who exercised the right to match option to complete the deal, having released him earlier.
This is the second time an IPL auction is being held outside the country after last year's event in Dubai.
