University employees angry about vacancy
Jan 2
In response to official posts that remain vacant, including that of a Vice Chancellor, and the injuries suffered at the hands of police during a sit-in rally on Monday, Tribhuvan University Employees Association has begun its indefinite lockout of TU administration. Associate exams controller Anup Shrestha has assured that he will work with the union to ensure ongoing exams affecting graduate students will continue. Several MP's spoke at the rally, demanding that the government appoint officials immediately to bring an end to anarchy in the universities.

At least 40 members of Tribhuvan University Employees Association are reported to have been injured by police attacks during a sit-in rally staged in front of Singha Durbar. They were protesting the vacancy top posts in Tribhuvan University, Purbanchal University, Pokhara University and Mahendra (Nepal) Sanskrit University have suffered from in the last eight months, since those appointed under the king's rule resigned following the shift in political power in April. The police claimed the area was prohibited, and the union has threatened to stall work at the Universities.
