Vaccination drive shoddy: NSUI

The NSUI and the Youth Congress have accused the government of doing a shoddy work with regard to vaccination of the college students on June 28 and 29. NSUI president Chhatar Singh Thakur said no arrangement was made for vaccination in several colleges, despite the orders of the government. Youth Congress state president Negi Nigam Bhandari said the first and the second year students of the HPU, HPTU and HPTSB should be promoted without exams. The exams for the final year students should be held through the online mode, he said. The NSUI and the Youth Congress sat on a two-day symbolic hunger strike outside the DC office.

Open university for students: SFI

The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) staged a dharna at Pink Petals Chowk, HPU, demanding the university should be opened for students at the earliest. The SFI alleged the university was not being opened because illegal recruitment of teaching faculty was going on and the administration feared that students would question it if the university was opened. The students’ body said the library was also shut for a long time, and it should be opened for students at the earliest.
