Visva Bharati University Vice Chancellor Rajat Kanta Roy, under a cloud following allegations of financial irregularities, met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here today. The meeting assumes significance as the prime minister had expressed concern over disruption of academic activities at the premier university and asked the striking employees to return to work, assuring them that an impartial probe would be conducted into allegations against the university authorities.
However, no details of the meeting were available.
Classes were disrupted as the majority of employees and teachers of the central university went on an agitation on October 24, demanding a probe into the alleged financial irregularities committed by the vice-chancellor.
The employees and teachers called off their agitation on Thursday last after an appeal in this regard by the prime minister, who is also the chancellor of the university.
