UNRULY SCENE was witnessed here at the Convocation Hall of Deen Dayal Upadhyay University when a student leader raised slogans against university authorities, flaying them for their alleged involvement in various irregularities in admission process. The student leader, who was drunk, created uproarious scene and disrupted the admission work. Chief proctor Prof Rajendra Prasad and V-C Prof Arun Kumar tried to pacify the student but students union president Rajiv Pandey, secretary Hareshayam Singh Shrinetra and vice president Chetna Pandey engaged in heated exchange with the V-C and threatened to bring the ongoing admission work to a grinding halt.
The student leaders said they were fed up with empty promises of the university authorities to increase the numbers of seats in the evening classes.
They said despite repeated reminders, the administration was dilly dallying, generating resentment among the students.
Prof Arun Kumar assured the students that their demands would be considered sympathetically. President of students’ union Rajiv Pandey said the university administration was yet to start the process of allotment of rooms in Alaknanda Hostel even though classes were about to begin. Vice-president Chetna Pandey said the clerks were charging extra fee in the name of allotment of hostels, which should be stopped.
