END OF KHALSA COLLEGE ROW

ussle between the teachers' union members and the Khalsa College management over the proposal to convert the institution into a university came to an end today after a meeting between the representatives from the two sides.

As the management announced that the university would be established without disturbing the heritage status of the Khalsa College, the teachers, who were on a chain hunger strike for the past several weeks, too, called off their stir. Now, the college would continue to remain affiliated with the Guru Nanak Dev University even after the proposed Khalsa university came into existence, it is learnt.

Also, the management has assured the teachers of revoking the notices served on them during the three months long agitation.

On the other hand, the development has infused bitterness in the PCCTU camp as the teachers did not take them into confidence before reaching at a compromise with the management.

Nevertheless, the main agenda of the meeting was focused on some way-out to establish the university without disturbing the Khalsa College's historic status and that it should also comply with the norms stipulated in the Punjab Private Universities Act 2010.
