Dec 04, 2025, 09:17 PM IST

Tezpur University — a central university born out of the Assam Accord — is in total lockdown as students, teachers, and staff rise in protest demanding the removal of Vice-Chancellor Shambhu Nath Singh. Allegations of corruption, manipulated appointments, and long absences triggered months of unrest. Records show the VC spent 388 days away from campus, leading to administrative paralysis, delayed exams, and stalled decisions.
