Tezpur Institutions Face Protests Over Leadership
Two groups in Tezpur, India, are very upset with their leaders.
At Tezpur Medical College, employees say their boss, Dr. Arijit Dutta, has been mean and hurtful to them for months.
They protested and asked the police and the government to make him stop.
They want him to be removed from his job quickly.
They promise that even if they protest more, they will still take care of sick patients.
At Tezpur University, students, teachers, and staff are protesting against the vice-chancellor, S.N. Singh, for alleged financial problems and bad management.
They have been protesting for a long time and even went on a hunger strike.
They want the government to remove him and start an investigation.
The university hasn't said anything about this yet, and the protesters are getting more frustrated.
