Dist Trinamul agitates, demands probe into UGB results

Statesman News Service



MALDA, 21 DEC: Malda district Trinamul Congress committee today staged an agitation infront of the camp office of University of Gour Banga and submitted a nine-point charter of demand to the in-charge of UGB, Mr Bikash Roy, who is also the head of the Bengali department, since the finance officer, registrar, controller of examination and the vice-chancellor were absent.


Trinamul leaders demanded the formation of an inquiry committee in order to have a detailed probe into the delay in publishing "incorrect" results of UGB BA, B Sc and B Com Part I examinations. The committee also demanded a thorough investigation into the financial records of the university as it was alleged that huge amount of money were collected earlier as subscription for setting up the university building here.


During the agitation, the leaders criticised the trend of top officials of the UGB, including the V-C, Prof Gopa Datta, who reside at the Malda circuit house temporarily, paying minimal rent to the government. "They enjoy house rent allotted from the government for staying here permanently but most of the days they are out of station," one of the leaders alleged.


During their agitation the leaders demanded the immediate construction of a permanent building to run PG courses and also asked for proper infrastructural facilities. The Trinalmul district committee has also threatened to launch another stir after seven days if they do not get positive response to their demands from the university authorities.
 
 
In another incident Malda police recovered the body of Sambhu Mahata (35), resident of Sahebganj in Jharkhand, near Behula Bridge, close to NH-34 under Malda police station area this morning.



Police suspects that the body was brought here after being killed by his rival group elsewhere. "He was shot at his belly and head. But we have not found any signs of bloodshed at the spot where the body was kept. So, we suspect that the body was carried by a vehicle here after he was murdered elsewhere," said Mr Bhuban Mandal, the Malda SP. ;SNS
