The Syndicate of the University of Kerala on Friday instituted an inquiry into the unsavoury circumstances that had led to the suspension of the youth festival recently.
A four-member subcommittee comprising Syndicate members K.G. Gopchandran, G. Muralidharan, R. Rajesh, and S. Jayan has been tasked with examining the complaints that had cropped up during the five-day event. The university will decide on its future course of action, including completing the festival, on the basis of the subcommittee’s findings.
The panel will delve into various controversies that dogged the festival, including allegations of biased judging, bribery charges as well as clashes among activists of students’ organisations.
