Students’ stir disrupts exams in Aligarh university
March 23rd, 2011 - 1:10 am ICT by IANSAligarh, March 22 (IANS) All important activities in the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), including admissions and examinations, remained paralyzed Tuesday on account of the forced locking of the central offices by the students’ union a day earlier.
Vice Chancellor (VC) P.K. Abdul Azis constituted a committee to talk to the students’ union, which locked the administrative block and registrar’s office. But president of the union A.A. Farooqui rejected the offer.
Talking to IANS Farooqui said: “The VC is joking. Instead of agreeing to our one point demand to remove the proctor from his present post because he has failed miserably… the vice chancellor is only further compounding the issue.”
Azis appealed to the students’ union to unlock the administrative block comprising the finance office, controller of examinations and admissions office and all other administrative offices of the university and the proctor’s Office so that the inconvenience caused to students and other stake holders could be avoided.
The VC held a review meeting of deans of faculties and principals of colleges to take stock of the alarming situation.
The meeting appointed a committee of deans and principals, who are members of the executive council, to interact with the office bearers of the students’ union and others.
