The office of Vice-Chancellor Deepak Aryal was vandalized on Tuesday afternoon.
Members of the Tribhuvan University Campus Self-Government Union (TUSU) vandalized the office of TU Vice-Chancellor Deepak Aryal, alleging that they were not given passes to watch the Nepal Premier League (NPL). The vandalism took place on Tuesday afternoon.
According to the Vice Chancellor's Office staff, elected students of SBU participated in the vandalism . The police stopped them after they started vandalizing .
Last year, CAN provided free tickets and VIP passes (like special guests) to student organizations including SBU, Nevisangh, Anerfasswu, Akhil Krantikari and a limited number of leaders of the three in the first edition of NPL. After criticism was leveled at providing 30 to 50 free tickets and VIP passes at the rate of 5/7 per organization, a SBU member said that this year, a lump sum amount was demanded on behalf of SBU.
'There has been talk of giving some tickets to SBU, but it is not certain whether it will get them or not. We have agreed to take one million rupees for the benefit of student rights,' he said. Nevisangh, on the other hand, has issued a statement announcing that it will not be giving free tickets and passes this year. Nevisangh Tribhuvan University President Bishnu Badaila has issued a press release announcing that although it is customary to collect passes and tickets, they will not be collected this time.
CAN and Student Welfare Directorate officials have been pressuring the organizers of NPL for free tickets or passes, including NEVISANGH, ANRF SWU, Akhil Krantikari, and other student organizations. A CAN member said that they have been requesting passes and tickets by meeting in groups and making separate telephone calls.
Last year, in the first NPL, the then president Shyamraj Ojha was embroiled in a controversy after SWU itself charged parking fees from spectators going to watch the game. Students studying at the university have been complaining that the crowding and noise at the university during the game have affected their studies. Following the students' complaints, an agreement has been reached that CAN will fence the hostel near the stadium to protect it and that parking will not be allowed inside the university's main gate and on the right and left sides of the main road.
We went to the Vice Chancellor's office with the demands of MBBS students: SWU Vice President Wali
SWU Vice President Sanam Wali of the Central Campus of the Independent Students Union Kirtipur has denied the vandalism in the office of Vice Chancellor Deepak Aryal.
He said that he had reached the Vice Chancellor's office with the problems of MBBS students rather than the NPL pass for the ongoing NPL tournament at the Tribhuvan University Cricket Stadium. 'I, SWU Secretary Himmat Kumar Budha and other students had gone with the MBBS students. When the police stopped us, the police's batons broke the glass of the Vice Chancellor's office. We did not vandalize,' said Vice President Wali, 'Why vandalize the Vice Chancellor's office for the NPL pass? We are talking to CAN.'
He said that he had reached the Vice Chancellor's office demanding that arrangements be made to give a chance exam to students who failed in MBBS. 'Students had come from Janakpur and the country spontaneously. "We went to raise the students' demands after being called. After being stopped by the police, it was just a normal scuffle," he said. When the students reached the office on Tuesday afternoon, Aryal was not there. He has been out of the valley for two days on university work. Students who did not pass the MBBS exam despite taking the opportunity exam have been demanding a second chance for the past 5 years.
