JAMMU, Mar 19: Stepping up attack against the administration of Central University of Jammu (CUJ) for its failure to start construction work on the campus, National Secular Forum (NSF) today held a strong protest in front of Central University Jammu.
Raising slogans, the protesters expressed their dissatisfaction over functioning of the Central University and demanded intervention of the Governor over the issue.
NSF president Sukhdev Singh, who was leading the protesters, criticized the working of Central University Vice-Chancellor and held the latter responsible for delay in construction work of Central University. He also alleged that the varsity has virtually become a rehabilitation center for retired and corrupt officials. “The varsity administration has violated the norms by recruiting the retired teachers and other staff members.
