Thu, 07/19/2012 - 11:10 -- admin

Fed up with the rising number of dog bites and the alleged mishandling of situation by the administration , visually challenged students of Jawaharlal Nehru University have threatened to go on a hunger strike from Wednesday night.

Representative bodies of disabled students said they had, to no avail, asked the administration to come up with a dog management plan by Tuesday. . "There is a dog lover's community that is not permitting the administration from taking action even though most of the senior professors accept that the number of dogs has risen beyond control. We want the dogs to be relocated," said Sonu Yadav, a visually challenged PhD student.
