Former Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy on Saturday demanded a probe into the suspension of the Registrar of the Puducherry Technological University by the Vice-Chancellor and then the subsequent cancellation of the order by the Lt. Governor.
Addressing a press conference, the former Chief Minister said the V-C had ordered the suspension of the Registrar on corruption charges. Within two hours of the order issued by the V-C, the Lt. Governor came out with a communication cancelling the disciplinary proceedings against the Registrar.
“An impartial inquiry should be conducted as there is a motive behind the cancellation of the suspension order. The government should come clean on the issue,” the former Chief Minister said.
He also demanded fulfilment of government’s commitment to write off loans taken by farmers from cooperatives. The former Chief Minister requested the government to provide age relaxation to candidates applying for teaching posts.
