NSUI to protest derecognition of universities

Dehradun : The recommendation to cancel the recognition of 3 universities in Uttarakhand has caused anger among students. Student leaders created a ruckus at the Dehradun located Graphic Era University and Haridwar located Gurukul Kangdi University after hearing that affiliations of both universities could be cancelled. Student leaders along with their supporters pelted stones at Gurukul Kangdi University buildings.


According to Gurukul Kangdi University Vice Chancellor Professor Swatantra Kumar, students reached his residence and broke the flower-pots outside his residence. On receiving information, Kankhal police reached the spot and tried to convince the students. The situation went out of control and police had to arrest 13 students, who were sent to jail under sections 147, 148, 149, 448 of the IPC. On the other hand, in Dehradun, a meeting of NSUI leaders was held at which NSUI Student Union President Pankaj Chhetri said that it was a matter of grave concern as the careers of thousands of students was at stake even as government was watching everything quietly.
