Butwal, September 26
Students affiliated to the Nepali Congress-aligned Nepal Student Union have torched and vandalised Butwal Lumbini Banijya campus protesting the recruitment of 11 new staffers.
NSU campus unit chief Suraj Chhetri and central committee member Tanka Pandey led a group of students who also vandalised the college’s Scorpio car.
The students have accused the campus administration of recruiting teachers and staffers by resorting to unfair means. “The administration even resorted to leaking question papers to recruit the people they wanted,” said Pandey. “We will announce further protests if the college does not rectify its decision.”
The college administration, meanwhile, said it followed the due process in the recruitment.
