VISAKHAPATNAM: A controversy seems to be brewing around Andhra University with two warring factions making allegations and counter-allegations over the last several weeks. Meanwhile one group, which is supported by the opposition parties, has given a call for ‘Chalo Andhra University’ on March 3, alleging irregularities on the part of the university officials.
A section of professors and university officials, who represent the other group, claims that some anti-social elements are trying to malign the image of the university. The supporters of the university are going to conduct a roundtable meeting on ‘University progress and social justice’ on March 1. Interestingly, both parties released posters of their respective events on Saturday.
