Today violence smashed out at the Allahabad University campus with two groups of students forcibly throwing crude bombs at each other and allowing oneself in heavy stone-pelting during distribution of forms for a Uttar Pradesh government's scheme for free laptops.

Moreover, the students fought erected battles with personnel belonging to police and Rapid Action Force who rushed to the scene and used batons to suppress the riotous crowd of people, and according to police nearly 20 students and six security personnel received injuries in the incident.

To say more, chaos began around noon when a large number of students who were mostly in their first year at the varsity, crowded the counters to obtain forms for availing the scheme introduced by the Samajwadi Party government wherein free laptops are to be distributed among those who have passed their Intermediate examinations.

As a result, quarrel erupted between inmates of two hostels, apparently over a minor issue, and they came to boiling heat even as the varsity officials tried to restore the excited students.

Even though, violence escalated with some of the students who were allowing oneself in heavy stone-pelting and a few crude bombs were also thrown by both sides.

As a conclusion, security personnel have been spread out in strength at the ungraceful University premises though no arrests have been heard about yet.

Violence has become a part and parcel of our life...that we now induced it within our daily livelihood.
