Expressing concern over the "worsening situation" of educational institutions in West Bengal, Congress state unit president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Saturday urged the Trinamool Congress government led by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to pass a law against ragging in the state.
The Congress leader's remarks came days after a first-year student of Jadavpur University died after allegedly falling from the balcony of the university's hostel on the night of August 9. He was allegedly subjected to ragging before his death.
"The situation in educational institutions in West Bengal is worsening every day. An example of this is what happened at Jadavpur University. There is no law and order. We want the West Bengal government to pass a law against ragging in the state," the Lok Sabha MP said while speaking to ANI.
