Shillong (Meghalaya), Nov 30: The ongoing controversy surrounding the NEHU Vice Chancellor’ Prof Prabha Shankar Shukla joining after completion of leave has taken a dramatic turn. After completing his leave, the VC has sent complaints to Delhi, sparking a fresh wave of agitation among teachers and students.
Let’s delve into the background of the issue. The CCS (Joining Time) Rules state that joining time may be combined with vacation and/or regular leave of any kind or duration, except casual leave. However, the VC’s decision to join after completing his leave has raised eyebrows, with many questioning the legitimacy of his actions.
The VC’s complaints to Delhi have further complicated the matter. While the exact nature of these complaints is unclear, sources suggest that they relate to the agitation and protests that have been ongoing for several weeks.
The agitating teachers and students, however, remain resolute in their demands. They claim that the VC’s actions are a clear violation of the rules and regulations governing the university. “We will not back down until our demands are met,” said a spokesperson for the agitating group. “The VC’s actions are a threat to the very fabric of our institution.”
As the stalemate continues, the future of the university hangs in the balance. Will the VC’s complaints to Delhi yield any results, or will the agitating teachers and students succeed in their demands? Only time will tell.
