The Raj Bhavan and Government of Bihar were at loggerheads after the Governor’s office sent a letter to the Vice-Chancellors of all the State universities to follow no orders except those issued by the Governor. In response to the Governor’s instructions, the Education Department sent out its own letter to the Raj Bhavan as well as the V-Cs concerned issuing a fresh set of instructions.
Principal Secretary to the Governor, Robert L. Chongthu, wrote the letter from the Governor’s office, dated August 30, which was made available on Friday. As a response, two letters were issued from the Education Department, dated August 31 and September 1 respectively. The first letter was addressed to Mr. Chongthu while the second included a fresh set of instructions to the V-Cs of the universities.
