Vice-Chancellor to be provided police protection
d The Calcutta High Court on Friday stepped in to end the week-long stand-off in Visva-Bharati, ordering students to take their protest outside the campus. Since last Saturday, Vice-Chancellor Bidyut Chakrabarty had been confined to his home by a group protesting against the August 23 rustication of students who had taken part in a campus protest in January 2020. “All demonstrations, banners, barricades and obstruction outside the residence of the Vice-Chancellor shall be forthwith removed by the officer in-charge, Santiniketan police station. The Vice-Chancellor, in addition to his own security guards, shall also be provided with three constables from the police station for his protection,” Justice Rajasekhar Mantha said in his order.More Related News
