The students and teachers of Labasa Sangam College that had gathered to start off their hunger strike as a protest over the zero marks in the Form 7 biology paper dispersed on their own.

Police spokesperson Ana Naisoro said that the Divisional Police Commander Northern and a team of police officers had only gone to talk to the students who were with their parents.
