The closure of tech cradle, RD Tata Technical Education Centre, a joint venture between Tata Steel and Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF), has brought the ire of ex-army men, who are demanding action against BJP district president Raj Kumar Srivastava.
The members of Poorva Sainik Seva Parishad (an organisation of former army-men) on Monday met east Singhbhum deputy commissioner Amitabh Kaushal and demanded administration to take action against the BJP district president for abusing and insulting principal of RD Tata Technical Education Center, a retired army official lieutenant Colonel KV Nair in the latter’s chamber on June 11.
Parishad’s general secretary Sushil Kumar alleged that the BJP workers had insulted the principal that led to the closure of the centre. Meanwhile former Jamshedpur West MlA and BJP senior leader Sarayu Roy held a meeting with the tech-cradle management and assured of all support on behalf of the party in running of the institution. He also spoke to senior BJP leaders Arjun Munda and Raghubar Das in this regard.
Similarly, BJP Jamshedpur East MlA Raghubar Das has in a letter written to the principal accepted that the BJP district president behaviour was uncalled for. Meanwhile, officials of the centre said that, they keep the centre closed till they get written assurance from Tata Steel and district administration for proper security arrangement at the campus to prevent such incidents.
