Principal's room ransacked

Students of civil department at Patuakhali Polytechnic Institute yesterday ransacked the principal's room demanding picnic tour. Over one hundred students damaged windowpanes and also flower tubs in front of the room. Students said, they have been demanding picnic tour for over a month but the principal remained unmoved. Time was running out as all 350 students of all seven semesters of the department rarely get such opportunity, they added. Contacted, Principal AKM Monjurul Ahsan said he disagreed as the final exam will be held from February 15. "I requested them to arrange picnic after the exam but they are not listening to me", he said.
