Far-Western University padlocked

2016-02-05

Students have padlocked the Far-Western University protesting what they termed as a ‘unilateral decision’ taken in the appointment of officials. The Netra Bikram Chand led CPN Maoist aligned All Nepal National Independent Students Union-Revolutionary (ANNI SU-R) padlocked the varsity on Friday. The University was padlocked to protest the appointment of dean, registrar and controller of examinations which was made on basis of power-sharing deals among major political parties – Nepali Congress, CPN-UML and UCPN-Maoist – without any consultations with the professors’ association and student unions, said Revolutionary’s central member Birendra Shah.
