The concerned parents yesterday met Registrar of the University Nagendra Singh Jamwal and sought assurance that no such incident will be happened in the University campus in the future and their wards will get a safe and secure environment to study.
However, after the meeting with the Registrar, parents expressed dissatisfaction. “First, we want to meet Vice Chancellor but despite wait of several hours, we were not allowed to meet him after which we met Registrar of the University and demanded him to give us written assurance that our wards are safe here but he refused to give us any written assurance,” the angry parents said.
When contacted, Registrar of the University said that the matter is being probed by the Disciplinary Committee of the Varsity comprising Dean Sciences, Dean Students Welfare, Dean Academics and HoD School of Languages & Literature which has collected all evidences related to the case. He said the probe will be taken to its logical conclusion and the guilty will be punished.
