Tribune News Service

Patiala, March 30
The much-awaited Syndicate meeting of Punjabi University, which was to take up the university budget as well as a controversial agenda included by Vice-Chancellor Jasbir Singh Ahluwalia against his adversaries, could not be held yesterday with members of the Joint Action Committee (JAC) blocking his entry into Guru Tegh Bahadur Hall where the meeting was to take place.

The Vice-Chancellor reached the site at around 9.15 am, 45 minutes before the scheduled time, but had to beat a hasty retreat with members of the JAC blocking his way into the building and raising slogans against him.
