A student representative in the Syndicate of the Cochin University of Science and Technology (Cusat) has approached the Kerala High Court, challenging a 35-day-old strike called by Cochin University Employees’ Association demanding reinstatement of four employees who had been placed under suspension after they faced allegations of corruption.
Syndicate member Kurien Biju alleged that hundreds of students who approached the university for their certificates and other requirements were suffering since the employees, after signing the attendance register, were striking work each day.
The agitating employees have also warned of indefinite hunger strike. Still, the Vice-Chancellor and others concerned were not taking action against them, he alleged in his plea.
