No Padlocking, Please!

The incidents of padlocking and strikes have become a daily staple at the Tribhuvan University (TU), which has almost paralysed the academic and administrative works. Dissatisfied student unions, employees and teachers’ groups often stage strikes or padlock the administrative and other departments. Some of them sometimes go a step further to vandalise the university properties to express their resentment against the university authorities. They often issue threats to teachers, office-bearers and employees who fail to respond to their demands.
