As part of the protest led by Nepal Students Union, the political student wing affiliated to the Nepali Congress, the central office of the varsity has been padlocked. The varsity has purchased a vehicle of TATA Company worth Rs 6.1 million for its Vice-Chancellor, a vehicle of the same worth for its registrar, and a vehicle of Hyundai Company worth Rs 5.1 million for chairman of the University Service Commission, the agitators alleged.
