Dharmendra Pradhan tries to end crisis in Visva-Bharati | India News – Times of India

NEW DELHI: Amid the stand-off in Visva-Bharati between the authorities and the agitating students, education minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday decided to intervene, advising against suspension of classes and the admission process while also asking the vice chancellor to disburse the salary and pension of the staff.
The agitation on the campus started on August 27 when students gathered at the residence of VC Prof Bidyut Chakraborty against suspension of some student leaders after alleged incidents of vandalism in January. On August 28, the university decided to rusticate the student leaders, leading the students to intensify their stir.
