Excelsior Correspondent

RAJOURI, Mar 12: The teaching faculty of Baba Ghulam Shah Badshah University (BGSBU), Rajouri under the umbrealla of BGSBU Teaching Association today announced boycott of classes for indefinite period.

While briefing the media, a spokesman of the Association claimed that BGSBU administration had assured the teaching faculty a month ago regarding fulfillment of their demands but nothing significant has been done so far.

The decision to boycott classes was taken in a meeting of BGSBUTA held under the chairmanship of its president, Dr Asghar Ali Shah.

The Association expressed concern over the alleged callous attitude of the university administration saying that despite giving repeated reminders, there was no response from them.

Dr Asghar Ali Shah said the association had observed pen down strike last month after which administration had assured to fix a meeting with the Vice-Chancellor to resolve the issues of the teachers but they failed even to fix a meeting with the Vice-Chancellor.

He added that teaching faculty have cooperated with the administration for a long time but they have done nothing for the welfare of teaching community.

He announced that the Association will soon approach the Chancellor of the university, Omar Abdullah and apprise him about the failure of university authorities.
