“They have now been dispersed by the security forces,” SSP Rajeev Mishra told PTI. Adequate security personnel have also been deployed in the area to check any untoward incident, he said.
The protesters, comprising mainly Class-11 students, demanded that the decision be implemented from April 1, 2025. In a notification, the Bihar government had last month announced that it was going to discontinue plus-two (intermediate) classes being held in colleges affiliated to various universities in the state, from April 1.
Intermediate education in all three streams – arts, science and commerce – will now be imparted only in higher secondary schools from the new session, it had said.
