Students of the Central Department of Education vandalized the Office of the Vice Chancellor (VC) of Tribhuvan University (TU) on Thursday over the leakage of the question paper of 1st semester exams of Masters in Education. A team of about 10 students reached the VC's office soon after it opened, pretending to submit a memorandum to VC Prof Dr Tirtha Raj Khaniya. They entered the VC's room and resorted to vandalism, according to TU officials. They smashed cupboards, chairs, tables, window panes, flower-pots and other things. Office assistant Kamala Thapa was injured by a piece of glass during the vandalism. However, VC Khaniya was unharmed. The students of M.Ed blamed TU authorities for leaking the question papers of the exams held on September 2, 4 and 6. The TU administration cancelled the exams held on September 4 and 6 but did not decide anything about the exam held on September 2. The exam of Foundation of Education was held on September 2. M Ed 1st semester student Hem Raj Thapa, who was involved in the vandalism, said that Prof Hom Raj Bhattarai, who is chief of the exams committee, too, is involved in the leakage of the question papers. "Bhattarai sold the questions to the students of Tahachal Campus in Kathmandu by looking at their ID cards. Bhattarai teaches at Tahachal Campus," he said. Thapa further said that it was an utter negligence by the university. "We just demanded to cancel the exam held on September 2 and reschedule the exams left," he said, "We vandalized the VC's office intentionally after TU did not scrap the exams held on September 2 which has affected 500 students." VC Khaniya said that the issue of question paper leakage was related to the Dean Office. "They had planned in advance to vandalize my office," he said. Meanwhile, police detained Thapa and Ratan Bhandari on the charge of vandalizing the VC's office. त्रिभुवन विश्वविद्यालय शिक्षा शास्त्र केन्द्रीय विभागमा अध्ययनरत विद्यार्थीले उपकुलपतिको कार्यकक्षमा तोडफोड गरेका छन् । स्नातकोत्तर तह र शिक्षक सेवा आयोगको स्थायी नियुक्तिका लागि शिक्षक छनोट परीक्षाको मिति जुधेपछि त्रिविको परीक्षा सार्न आन्दोलनमा उत्रेका विद्यार्थीले बिहीबार तोडफोड गरेका हुन् । आयोगले असोज ११, १२ र १३ गते परीक्षा निर्धारण गरेको छ । त्रिविको परीक्षा पनि त्यही मितिमा तय गरिएको छ । विद्यार्थीले त्रिविको परीक्षा सार्न यसअघि पनि अनुरोध गरिरहेका थिए । विद्यार्थीका मागबारे अध्ययन गर्न त्रिविले समिति पनि गठन गरेको छ । विद्यार्थीहरु नारवाजी गर्दै उपकुलपति कार्यालय परिसर पुगेका थिए । त्रिवि सूचना शाखाका अनुसार नारावाजी गर्नेमध्येका चारजना विद्यार्थी उपकुलपति तीर्थ खनियासँग छलफल गर्ने भन्दै उनको कार्यकक्ष गएका थिए । छलफलकै क्रममा अकस्मात विद्यार्थीहरु तोडफोडमा उत्रेका थिए । तोडफोडबाट उपकुलपति कार्यालयको झ्यालका सिसा फुटेका छन् । कुर्सी, दराज, सोफा र टेबलमा क्षति पुगेको त्रिविले जनाएको छ । तोडफोड गरेर विद्यार्थीहरु तत्काल भागेका थिए । ‘उनीहरु पूर्वतयारीका साथ आएका जस्तो देखिन्थे । परीक्षा सार्ने कि नसार्ने विषयमा अध्ययन गर्न समि गठन भएको छ । छलफल भइरहेको बेला तोडफोड गर्नुपर्ने अवस्था आएको थिएन’, उपकुलपति खनियाँले भने । त्रिविले आफ्नो वार्षिक कार्यतालिका अनुसार परीक्षाको मिति तय गरेकोले शिक्षक सेवा आयोगको परीक्षासंग जुध्नेबारे जानकारी नभएको त्रिविले जनाएको छ ।
