After assurance, senators postpone stir

Vadodara: A group of senate members, who had threatened to launch a stir demanding ad hoc pension for retired employees, have postponed their protest programme.
A group led by Dr Nikul Patel had threatened to start dharna protest from Monday demanding immediate resolution of pension related problems faced by both teaching and non-teaching staffers of the university. They had made representation before MSU vice-chancellor and later to all syndicate members.
“We have been informed that in-charge deputy registrar Mayank Vyas has been given special responsibility to look after pension cases. Also, we have been assured positive output in the next one month,” said Patel, adding that the dharna protest has been postponed till July 1.
“We will have meeting of all retired employees as college reopens after June 21,” he said.
