“The news is totally false and baseless. It was published only to malign the image of the delegates and Dibrugarh University. We have issued a press statement clarifying it,” Vice Chancellor Tamuli said.

“We went to China for an educational tour and stayed there for some days and went to Beihang University as a part of the tour,” the VC added.
The seven-member delegation also included Assam Higher Secondary Education Council (AHSEC) chairman Dayananda Borgohain, Lakhimpur College principal Dr Biman Chandra Chetia and Tinsukia College principal Rana Changmai.
