Students belonging to the Nepal Students’ Association abused Mahesh Dahal, Chairperson, of the Purbanchal University Service Commission. Students splashed black on his face.
The students, protesting since December 16, 2022, with various demands including university reforms, abused President Dahal on June 12, 2023.
The students allege that the service commission did not listen to the various demands for solving educational and administrative problems within Eastern University.
Saroj Pokharel, Chairperson of Nepal Student Union Morang, said he took this action to issue a warning against the commission’s unwillingness to address the issue despite the vice chancellor’s willingness to negotiate.
According to Pokharel, the chairperson of the service commission is not willing to communicate and cooperate after, even after six months of the protest.
The functioning of various bodies under the university has been affected after the protesting students went on strike.
