Shillong (Meghalaya)), Mar 7: In a shocking turn of events, highly placed sources have confirmed that North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) Vice Chancellor Prabha Shankar Shukla has officially resumed his duties, but with a twist – he will be operating from Guwahati, Assam.
This development comes after a fact-finding team gave Shukla a clean chit, despite protests from students and opposition from NEHUSU and the KSU NEHU unit. The VC was forced to leave Shillong after continuous protests, but it seems he will continue to serve out his tenure from the neighboring state.
Details about Shukla’s exact location in Guwahati are scarce, but sources suggest that NEHU will bear all expenses for his stay in Guwahati. The move has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the logic behind allowing the VC to operate from outside the state.
The Expert Committee’s clean chit has effectively tied the hands of those seeking action against Shukla. Sources close to the matter have revealed that the best possible course of action for the agitating students would be to seek legal recourse.
“Unless the court intervenes and delivers a verdict, Shukla cannot be removed from his position or face any disciplinary action,” a source revealed. This leaves the students with a daunting task ahead, as they weigh their options and consider taking the legal route to address their grievances.
