Dasayu case missing from agenda,PU syndicate meet stalled

Soon after the meeting started,one of the members,Dr Jagwant Singh raised the objection as to why the action-taken report on the said college has not been included in the agenda,despite it being raised by him during the last two-three meetings. While Dr Singh said that he should be allowed to express his views,vice-chancellor Arun Kumar Grover refused as he did not want statements to be made before the start of the meeting and asked him to raise the issue during the zero-hour discussion.

However,Dr Singh stood his ground and walked out of the meeting,followed by all the other members of the syndicate. One of the members Dinesh Talwar said,“All the members had been waiting for a long time for the matter to be included in the agenda so that the syndicate could implement the decisions taken by it in the earlier meetings. We were compelled to raise the objection,when it was not even included in Saturday’s meeting.”

“We are answerable to all the teacher fraternity,so we ought to question the delay,“he added.

Meanwhile,PU Registrar Professor A K Bhandari said the university is taking follow-up action on the Dasuya case. He said that a show cause notice was issued on September 3 to the president of the governing body and principal of the college,and that the college has been given 15 days time from the date of receipt of the Notice to provide the necessary justification.
