Suspension flayed: The Punjabi Lekhak Manch, Anti-corruption Front, Adyapak Chetna Manch, Samrala, and other intellectuals have condemned the suspension of Professor Jagmohan Singh, Head, Department of Physics, Malwa College, Bondli, Samrala at a meeting here. The meeting was chaired by Prof Baldeep Singh, President, Panjabi Lekhak Manch. Dr Gulzar Md Goria, General Secretary, said Prof Jagmohan Singh was not only a poet, but also the senior most and dedicated teacher of the college. In order to pave way for a junior lady lecturer to act as the officiating principal, the authorities have illegally and unjustly suspended Jagmohan Singh.
