Youth Group Demands Removal of Gauhati University VC Over Corruption Allegations
A group of young people in Assam called AJYCP is asking for the boss of Gauhati University, Dr. Mahanta, to be fired.
They say he has been doing bad things with the university's money, especially for building projects.
They also say he has been unfair to some people.
This has made the university look bad, and the group is worried about the students.
They sent a letter to the state's Governor asking him to remove Dr. Mahanta and check if the bad things are true.
The group says it's important to fix the university's reputation.
AJYCP's Nagaon district unit submitted a memorandum demanding the removal of Gauhati University VC Dr. Nani Gopal Mahanta.
The organization alleges Dr. Mahanta is involved in large-scale irregularities and corruption in using university funds for infrastructure development.
Allegations of financial irregularities and favouritism have reportedly tarnished the university's reputation.
AJYCP has urged Dr. Mahanta to resign previously, but he has not.
The group is calling for the Governor to take immediate action, remove Dr. Mahanta, and initiate an impartial investigation.
