SHILLONG, Oct 4 (PTI) Agitated over the Vice-Chancellor's "illegal continuation" even after his term expired, teaching and non-teaching staff of the North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) today sealed his office.
In a statement, the Joint Action Committee of the NEHU employees condemned the attempt of the university to deliberately "misinform the public on the matter of illegal continuation of Pramod Tandon" as Vice-Chancellor after the expiry of his term on September 12.
The JAC has locked up Tandon's office and declared him as "persona non grata" accusing him of taking illegal and irregular financial decisions even after the expiry of his term.
Alleging that President Pratibha Devi Singh Patil has not communicated anything on the extension of term of the Vice-Chancellor, JAC chairman SB Prasad said the university was banking on a communique from the lower rung of the ministry while extending Tandon's term.
