Probe instituted into attempted CAU exodus

IMPHAL, August 4: A one man enquiry committee to be headed by the deputy director general of the Indian Council of Agricultural research, ICAR, SL Mehta, has been instituted to investigate the reasons behind the attempted mass exodus of non local hostellers of the Central Agricultural University, CAU, at Iroishemba, according to a CAU press release. The term of enquiry of the one-man committee would also be to identify responsible person for the attempted flight, if any. Meanwhile, although complete normalcy has still not been brought to the crisis, it definitely seems to be very close by. Classes were not held today either, but CAU authorities are confident they will resume very soon. According to CAU release by the registrar of the University, the uncertainty resulting out of the attempted exodus of hostellers from Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Meghalaya and Tripura, on August 2, has been resolved. This came after a thorough discussion between the students of the CAU, Vice Chancellor of the University, MoS, Agriculture, MoS, Mangibou, officials from Mizoram and Manipur and Commissioner agriculture. It is also learnt that apart from the CAU authorities, local students in the college have come forward to assure their outsider colleagues that they would share all their perceived risks. Security arrangement in and around the college also remained tight ever since the crisis broke out, and no untoward incidents have been reported ever since.
