Tension ran high in Tribhuvan University in Kirtipur on Sunday. A large number of security personnel have been deployed in the area when two student groups clashed after the University organized a press conference. In the meantime, a group of students hurled stones at the press conference venue.

Yogendra Rawal, Secretary of Nepal Student Union, student wing of ruling Nepali Congress, at the Tribhuvan University, said that NSU cadres Bhuwan Joshi and Ishwor Bhandari were critically injured in the incident.

NSU students staged the demonstration demanding action against the professors who asked questions similar to the previous years while the All Nepal National Free Students Union (ANNFSU), the student wing of main opposition CPN-UML, warned of opening the padlock. University Vice-Chancellor Prof. Dr. Dharmakant Baskota said that there is panic among the teachers and there is no working environment.
