Visva Bharati University VC confined to his official residence by agitating student, check details

A group of students from Visva Bharati University staged a protest near Vice Chancellor Bidyut Chakraborty blocking him to drive out of his office.  The VC of the central university has been confined in his quarters for a fortnight by agitating students.

On Tuesday, when he tried to leave his official residence, a woman student rushed and squatted before his car, the university spokesperson said, as reported by NDTV. "Several other students who were camping outside the gates rushed towards his car and some of them too squatted on the ground. The security guards tried to persuade them to leave and Chakraborty went back to his residence. Following this, it has been decided that the VC will discharge his responsibilities from his residence for the time being," the spokesperson said.

"Chakraborty is confined in his residence since November 24 as around 15 students are camping outside its gates in support of their demands," the spokesperson said.

SFI Visva-Bharati unit leader Somnath Sow said "the students are demanding immediate intervention of the VC in the allotment of hostel rooms for outstation pupils, an issue which has remained unresolved since the pandemic. They are also seeking his intervention to facilitate evaluation of thesis papers, among others. Meanwhile, the woman student, who squatted before Chakraborty's car claimed that she was heckled by the security personnel."
