JAMMU, Nov 20: Taking a strong note of patronizing the corruption in Directorate of Distance Education (DDE), University of Jammu, Jammu Youth Forum (JYF) today urged the Pro-Chancellor of University, Mehbooba Mufti, for immediate enquiry into the DDE new building scam.
Addressing a press-conference here today, JYF University president, Deepak Kumar said that JU administration instead of ordering inquiry into the sub-standard construction trying to cover up the same by ordering repair works at the cost of University exchequer.
“The vice chancellor should have ordered the inquiry and asked the Contractor concerned to carry out the repairs as a part of obligation. But instead the University has decided to bear the expenses for repair which gives a complete impression that the incumbent VC is covering up the misdeeds of officials,” he said.
“Constructed at a huge cost of Rs 5 crore, the building was commissioned in January 2014 but the building has deteriorated to a great extent within two years of commissioning”, Deepak said and appealed the Pro-Chancellor, Mehbooba Mufti to order enquiry into the scam.
