As their eight-day long protest failed to evoke any response from the university authorities, the guest lecturers of Karnatak University have decided to intensify the agitation in the coming days.
On Friday, the indefinite strike of the guest lecturers working in Karnatak University and the constituent colleges entered the eighth day. Their grouse is that their demand for regularisation of job, hike in salaries and change in nomenclature of the post has not been met till date despite assurances from the authorities.
Staging demonstration on the university premises on Friday, the protesting lecturers alleged that that the KUD Vice Chancellor Prof. K.B. Gudasi had not bothered to address their grievance. They said that they would be forced to ‘gherao’ the syndicate members when they arrive for the University Syndicate meeting scheduled to be held on Saturday.
