THE NORMAL functioning of the administrative building of the DDU-Gorakhpur University remained paralysed on Thursday, following a strike by the university employees association.
They struck work due to the authorities’ failure to fulfill their demands.
The employees charged the vice-chancellor with adopting delaying tactics regarding their demands.
Presiding over a meeting, president of the union said various political parties decided to support the employees.
Former Member of the Legislative Council and Samajwadi Party leader Devendra Pratap Singh reached the place where the employees were staging a dharna and extended his support to the agitators.
