  • Ghosh told reporters, "We have come to know is that the Registrar has refused to meet the Committee. When the Registrar and the VC are not meeting the high-level committee, how can they ask us to step back?"

    She added, "The MHRD should tell the V-C to rescind the fee hike and if the V-C does not agree then he should resign."
