KOKRAJHAR: The All Bodo Students Union (ABSU) on Tuesday warned that it will resume its series of agitation against the Vice Chancellor of Bodoland University from October 21 if the government of Assam and the Governor fail to give a response by October 20.
The ABSU Vice President, Kwrwmdao Wary, mentioned that the ABSU temporarily stopped its protests against the VC of Bodoland University, Prof Laishram Ladu Singh. This was because the Principal Secretary of BTC, Akash Deep, invited them for a meeting with BTC Chief Pramod Boro.
