He further informed that MU students, people of nearby localities and civil society organisations would jointly launch different modes of agitation to see that the AR camp is shifted .

For too long, MU has been serving as a contractors' zone and this is a matter of serious concern to MUSU.

MU was not included in the list of top 100 universities of the country because of laxity on the part of the higher authority .

MU's academic performance degraded on account of failures on the part of the higher authority, he decried .

He also accused the VC of staying away from the university most of the time .

Rather than stocking adequate number of books, the VC is more concerned about beautifying the library building .

MUSU would start inspecting different departments from the third week of July and check whether teachers have been discharging their duties diligently, Buchi said .

He further alleged that the VC and teachers have been neglecting their duties even though have been enjoying fat salaries .

Buchi expressed keen desire for teachers to perform their duties as per UGC guidelines .

At the same time, contractors executing different construction works at MU should pay due attention to qualitative aspect of their works, the MUSU president said .

He also sought immediate attention of the authority concerned toward several posts lying vacant at MU .
