ABVP to intensify stir

It may be recalled that following strong protest by ABVP two weeks ago, the State Higher and Technical Education Minister Datta Rane had appointed a one-man committee headed by higher education director to probe into the various aspects of the colleges under dispute.

The committee which was to submit its report within a week’s time has so far not completed its enquiry. “The undue delay in submitting the committee report only reflects the government apathy in looking towards the grave issue,” remarked Dhananjay Kulkarni of ABVP.

Expressing strong discontent over the delay, Kulkarni said that the Parishad, however, wanted to give full opportunity to the government to intiate a suitable action. “We are giving one more week to the committee to complete its enquiry and submit the report. If this is not done we will begin with a massive agitation in the city,” he remarked.

The ABVP office-bearer stated that the students’ organisation will file a writ petition in the Bombay High Court if the State Government failed to take any action against the colleges.
