SHILLONG: The KSU’s Mawlai and NEHU units have demanded removal of the BSF base from the NEHU campus.
A joint delegation of the KSU Mawlai and NEHU units made this demand during their meeting with the NEHU Pro-Vice Chancellor Prof. B. Myrboh on Wednesday.
“We have always opposed the BSF camp in the University campus since we do not see any justification in having a camp of a paramilitary force in the vicinity of Mawlai,” the KSU said.
They claimed that the local residents of Mawlai were not benefitting from the BSF camp but were instead subjected to a feeling of insecurity.
The KSU delegation also stated that presence of ‘coercive forces’ within the campus of an educational institution was inappropriate.
“We were informed by the pro-vice chancellor that the BSF camp was set up in NEHU on the direction of the High Court following the disorder that had cropped up in the past in the form of rallies and public agitation,” the KSU units said.
The KSU NEHU Unit claimed that the Pro-Vice Chancellor had assured them that no permission would be granted in future for establishment of such camps within the NEHU campus.
The KSU also said that they had taken up the issue after witnessing the undisciplined and unruly attitude of the BSF personnel at the Convocation Ground/Hall of the University campus, including verbal abuses hurled on the students and the hostellers.
