KRISHNAGAR, 6 JUNE: Unable to bear the pressure from the Trinamul Congress affiliated Karmachari Samsad, the vice-chancellor of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Vishwavidyalaya (BCKV), Dr Dharani Dhar Patra has finally tendered his resignation from his post yesterday.
He sent his resignation letter to Chancellor cum Governor, Mr Jagdeep Dhankar on Friday afternoon, he said.
Though his tenure will be ended on 9 June, he will serve up to 10 June, he added.
“I have sent my resignation letter to the Governor on Friday afternoon due to my personal inconvenience,” he iterated.
The Chancellor had given him an extension of six months and the letter reached BCKV on 29 May 29.
Since then the situation turned grim and the TMC affiliated Karmachari Samsad started agitation in front of VC’s office demanding his resignation from his post.
They alleged that the Governor has extended the service tenure of the VC without consulting the state government.
In an order, the Governor, Jagdeep Dhankar said, “In exercise of powers under section 20(1)(b) of Bidhan Chandra Krishi Viswavidyalaya Act, I, Chancellor of BCKV, allow Dr D D Patra, vice-chancellor, after expiration of his term of office on 9.06.2020, to continue in office till a successor assumes office subject to the condition that he shall not continue as such for any period exceeding six months”.
Meanwhile, the TMC affiliated teachers’ association WEBCUPA and a section of students also gheraoed the VC’s bungalow on the same issue.
Haringhata block TMC President cum Nadia Zilla Parishad Purto Karmadakshya Chanchal Debnath had appeared at the University with his huge followers on the first day of the movement. He also described the Governor's activities as undemocratic.
He said, “The movement will go on until fulfillment of our demand.”
Rajib Dalal, who has become the Administrator cum Chairman of Haringhata Municipality since Monday too was on spot. He was the first Chairman of the Municipality. He said, “We will continue the movement.”
However, VC had alleged on Tuesday that the agitators broke the lock of the first gate of his bungalow before launching agitation. “After breaking the lock of the gate of my bungalow, they sat in demonstration. They threw abusive words and when I faced them, they tried to take me to the administrative building. I assume, if I would go there, they would press me to sign a resignation letter. I informed SP but it yielded no result."
He had also said that he was just obeying the order of the Chancellor. “I am obeying the order of the Chancellor as it is my duty to obey it,” he said.
