It's rumour

The government has asked the polytechnic students not to be misled by any rumour over the downgrading the status of the diploma engineers.
The government noted with concern that the polytechnic students, misled by rumour of vested quarters, have been involved in ransacking, arson attack and clash with police at different parts of the country, a press note said yesterday.
Issued by the government, the press note clearly stated that no change to the status of the diploma engineers was made.
Diploma engineers, who enjoyed their status in the past, also enjoy the same status in the future, said the press note.
It asked the students not to be misled by the rumour spread by vested quarters.
The law enforcement agencies were also asked to find out those who were instigating the students to wreak havoc on public life and property by feeding them with rumour.
