Assam Rising,
Guwahati, November 7: The Nagaon District Unit of Asom Jatiyatabadi Yuba Chatra Parishad, submitted a memorandum to the Governor of Assam, through the Nagaon District Commissioner today, demanding the removal of Dr Nani Gopal Mahanta as the Vice-Chancellor of Gauhati University.
The memorandum, signed by Prabal Sarma, President, and Hemanta Das, General Secretary of the District Unit of the youth organisation, alleged that Dr Mahanta has been involved in large-scale irregularities and corruption in the utilization of university funds and infrastructure development.
The memorandum highlighted that the allegations against Dr Mahanta have been widely reported in various newspapers and electronic media, which has tarnished the reputation of the prestigious university. The organization had earlier urged Dr Mahanta to resign from his position, but he has failed to do so.
The organization has now demanded that the Governor take immediate action to remove Dr Mahanta from his position and conduct an impartial investigation into the allegations of corruption and irregularities. The memorandum emphasized that the reputation of the university and the academic future of its students are at stake, and it is imperative that swift action is taken to restore the university’s integrity.
The demand for Dr Mahanta’s removal is based on allegations of financial irregularities and favoritism in the development of university infrastructure. The youth organisation has expressed concern that if action is not taken, it will further damage the reputation of the university.
