Kolkata Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi will meet students of the Primary Teachers Training Students Institutes (PTTI) union on Saturday. The students, along with members of the Chhatra Parishad, the students’ wing of the Congress, are on a hunger-strike from Thursday outside the College Street campus of the University of Calcutta.

On Friday, the students received a call from the Raj Bhavan asking them to meet Gandhi on January 3. “We want that the chief minister arrange a meeting of the students, the state government and the Centre. He had assured us that he will resolve the crisis before the end of 2008. Now we want him to take us to Delhi at the CMs’ conference,” said Pintu Parui, a PTTI student leader.

Chief minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee will attend the conference on January 6 in New Delhi. Another section of PTTI students have launched an indefinite strike at the Metro Channel in Esplanade from Friday.
