Sangrur: Principal’s room locked amid Akal Degree College tussle

Sangrur, October 27

The tussle between principal of Akal Degree College for Women, Sangrur, and the college governing body intensified on Wednesday when the body locked the room of Principal Sukhmeen Kaur. The principal then sat outside her office for official work.

As per sources, alleging misconduct, on October 23, governing body president Karnvir Singh Sibia had placed Kaur under suspension, but the Higher Education Department set aside the suspension on Tuesday.

“I had raised some issues pertaining to the welfare of our college with the government and the VC. Since it is the only college for women in the area, its development is must. Today, I found my office locked. But I will perform my duties sitting outside my office,” said Kaur.

The Higher Education Department said the suspension order did not specify any charge or reason for the alleged misconduct and seemed mala fide. Sibia said they had not received the order. — TNS
