Students demonstrate, continue to boycott classes, exams

Gurprit Singh Brar, PAU Students8217; Association PAUSA president said: 8220;No official from the top brass has come to meet us till now. This only shows the attitude of the authorities towards us but even then we have decided that we will not call off our protest till our demands are met.8221;

8220;The usual practice in the past has been that the university officials would give some assurances and the students go back to their classes. This time we will have the authorities accept our demands per se or fix a time limit for the ones where some work input is needed. Till that time we students will not enter classes,8221; he added.

The Research Fellows8217; Union of the university, meanwhile, also came out in support of PAUSA on Thursday morning. Bikram Doraha, a research fellow, demanded that the non-planned posts of teachers that are not refilled after the serving employee retirees should be revived.
