Bolangir, Aug. 19 -- Over 50 girl students of central government-run Kasturba Gandhi BalikaVidyalaya (KGBV) at Loisingha in Bolangir district left school's hostel on Sunday protesting several issues.

The girl students alleged that they were not being served proper food in the hostel and were often scolded by the headmaster and hostel warden.

The girls had left the hostel yesterday evening and were heading towards Bolangir to meet the District Collector. However, they were stopped midway by the Sarpanch and some locals near Putapalli area who convinced them to return back to hostel.

After getting information about the girls, the Collector directed the BDO to submit a report after an enquiry into the incident.
