NSU, ANNFSU cadres clash at Trichandra College


Trichandra College at Jamal, Kathmandu, turned into a battleground Sunday afternoon with cadres of the Nepali Congress affiliated Nepal Students Union (NSU) and UML's student wing All Nepal National Free Students Union (ANNFSU) engaging in violent clash over the tender for construction in the campus. Police had to fire four rounds of bullets into the air to control the situation. Both the student groups have blamed each other for provocation.

The clash started after a group of NSU supporters tried to prevent an ANNFSU team from registering the tender for construction new rooms at the Chemistry Building. But, NSU has said ANNFSU students attacked its cadres when they were going to register the tender. The students also torched chief's room and vandalised the office of the Free Students Union (FSU). Eyewitnesses said some students were brandishing swords and knives.
