Bihar Raj Bhavan has written to banks to overrule an education department order that had frozen the accounts of state-run universities, barring one.
The Raj Bhavan's direction comes after the Bihar government had ordered the freezing of the bank accounts of all State-run universities, barring one, and withheld salaries of their vice-chancellors for allegedly being absent at a recent review meeting convened by the education department.
The standoff between the Raj Bhavan and the education department seemed to worsen with the authorities lodging police complaints against VCs of the universities, who did not attend the department's review meeting held in the last week of February.
