SFI has been in protest for the past week against the cancellation of the Vedanta PG course at the Koyilandy Centre. As part of it, the SFI decided to intensify the protest at the centre. Meanwhile, a syndicate meeting of Kalady University will be held today.
The SFI locked up around 15 teachers and non-teachers in the Centre.
Earlier, there have been instances of locking up teachers by the SFI in various parts of the state. In March, SFI activists locked up teachers in Law College in Thiruvananthapuram as a protest against the suspension of several co-activists over a clash during the college union election.
Back in 2016, SFI thanked a teacher on her retirement day with an earthen tomb with a wreath and flower petals in Govt Victoria College at Palakkad. On the symbolic grave, it read, "Thanks for your great services." The principal Sarasu was appalled to see this when she arrived on the campus on her retirement day after three decades of service.
