Kolkata: Jadavpur University VC gheraoed for union polls
Kolkata, Jan 8 (IBNS): Demanding the publication of union polls' notification, the students of Kolkata's Jadavpur University have gheraoed the Vice-Chancellor (VC), registrar and other officials since Friday evening.
Jadavpur University's governing committee earlier sent a letter to West Bengal government's education department, seeking permission to hold union polls on Feb 18, which was rejected.
The WB government has notified all universities and colleges not to host union polls in January and February.
However, protesting students said that they would continue their sit-in-demonstration and gherao until the university publishes notification for union polls in February.
