The agitation of the teachers of the GB Pant University of Agriculture and Technology continued on eighth day on Tuesday. The agitated teachers assembled at the agriculture college of the university on the day and engaged in slogan shouting against the university administration. The teachers termed the resignation of the Vice Chancellor as unfortunate.
The teachers then marched towards the administrative block of the university and held a Dharna there. The President of Pantnagar University Teachers Association (PUTA), Dr P N Singh said that the resignation of some deans and directors is nothing but a sham.
He said that the teachers of the university are determined to continue their agitation. Singh said that the resignation of the VC is nothing but a tantrum thrown to divert the attention from real issues and the Governor has not accepted his resignation as some inquiries are pending against him.
