Principal Vasanth Rao filed complaints at Kadaba police station on Saturday against seven students from Ramakunjeshwara College and seven students of other colleges who staged protest in front of the College premises on Friday.

In his complaint, he Mr Rao accused the students of using defamatory words against the college authorities and creating chaos in the college campus.

Though over 400 students including members of University Sarva College Sangha led by Hijab clad girls staged protest in the college premises on Friday, no protest was staged on Saturday. Hundreds of protesters from Mangalore, Bantwal, B C Road, Puttur and Uppinangady had arrived at the College on Friday and staged protest in the afternoon.

They protesters had alleged the college of dividing the students in the name of religion.

Meanwhile, the Campus Front of India has condemned the college authorities and principal for registering complaint against the students.

Bengaluru, Mar 7: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday said that the Upper Krishna Project (UKP) will be completed within the next three years.

Speaking in the Assembly, the Chief Minister said: "After discussing with the officials of the finance department, we have decided to allocate Rs 10,000 crore funds for the third phase of UKP. This project will be completed within a span of three years."

Yediyurappa also said that the government will hold talks for additional funds from the Central government.

The leader of Opposition, Siddaramaiah, interrupted and said that the CM has announced this just to gain the confidence of MLAs from north Karnataka.

"The government could have announced it in the budget itself or else the Chief Minister could have announced it at the time of discussion on the budget. Where are the funds with the government to complete the project? CM has announced this just to gain the confidence of MLAs who hail from north Karnataka," said Siddaramaiah.

Deputy Chief Minister Govinda Karajol while speaking to the media welcomed the Chief Minister's statement and said that the earlier government didn't allocate a single penny in the last seven years he added.
