“I urge you to make use of these facilities while we are still working on improving power supply.
“Additionally, the college has one of the best sports complexes, if not the best, in the North-East,” he said.
The provost said that the college was also prioritising security, and urged the students to be vigilant and report any security-related matters to the authorities.
