Madhes, Saptari, Rajbiraj

A protest has been staged against Rajarshi Janakpur University (RJU) bill in Rajbiraj on Friday. Professors, students and employees of Mahendra Bindeshwori Multiple Campus (MBMC) staged the protest and submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister through Chief District Officer Bhagirath Pandey demanding an amendment of the bill. Before submitting the memorandum letter to CDO the rally had marched over the different places of the town. According to the protesters, some provisions of the bill have put the existence of their campus at risk. The protest committee’s coordinator Singheshwor Prasad Yadav said that the government’s plan of merging the Tribhuvan University (TU) affiliated campuses of Rajbiraj, Siraha and Janakpur into RJU was wrong. राजविराज स्थित महेन्द्र विन्देश्वरी बहुमुखी क्याम्पसका प्राध्यापक र बिध्यार्थीहरुले राजर्षी जनक विश्वबिध्यालयमा आफ्नो क्याम्पस गाभेर अस्तित्व संकटमा परेको भन्दै प्रदर्शन गरेका छन् । प्रदर्शनका क्रममा बिध्यार्थी र प्राध्यापकले महेन्द्र विन्देश्वरी बहुमुखी क्याम्पसलाई त्रिभुवन बिश्वबिध्यालय अन्तर्गत नै राख्न माग गरेका छन् । शुक्रबार क्याम्पसका प्राध्यापक, कर्मचारी तथा बिध्यार्थीहरुले राजबिराजमा प्रदर्शन गरेका हुन् । क्याम्पस प्रांगणबाट निस्किएको जुलुस नगरका बिभिन्न भाग परिक्रमा गरेको थियो । नगर परिक्रमा पश्चात उनीहरुले प्रमुख जिल्ला अधिकारी मार्फत प्रधानमन्त्रीलाई ज्ञापनपत्र पठाएका हुन् । ज्ञापन पत्रमा क्याम्पसलाई बिश्वबिध्यालयमा गाभिने व्यवस्था गरिएको भन्दै कडा आपत्ति जनाईएको छ ।
