JNTU Kakinada students set Monday deadline for action against

Students protesting against a professor at the Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University here have given varsity authorities a deadline of 11 am tomorrow to act against him.
The students had accused the professor of sexual harassment while conducting the viva voce tests two days ago and 20 students had submitted a complaint with JNTUK Vice-Chancellor VSS Kumar, protesting students told PTI.
On condition of anonymity, these students said that they wanted the professor transferred to some other college, which authorities declined stating that the professor was appointed to JNTUK and transferring him was beyond their mandate.
Students said that Vice-Chancellor Kumar had offered to remove the professor from conducting viva voce tests but this was rejected by the protesting students, they told PTI.

Students told PTI that they dispersed for the day after giving varsity authorities a deadline of 11 am on Monday to take action against the professor.
Students informed that Kumar had told them that a five member committee had been constituted to look into allegations against the professor and action would be taken based on its recommendations.
