BHUBANESWAR: The Central University Action Committee of Kalahandi district has threatened to launch an agitation if the central university (CU) is not established in the district. It has also called upon all the local ministers and MLAs to resign in protest.
A delegation of the panel along with ministers, MLAs and senior citizens of the district met Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik to discuss the demand.
They countered the impression that land will be a problem if the varsity is set up in the district.
They told the Chief Minister that establishment of a CU in the district is a long standing demand and a memorandum was submitted to the Chief Minister in this connection on January 14, 2002. Besides, several memoranda have been submitted to the Centre during the last few years.
Sources said, the Chief Minister said that he had already announced establishment of the central varsity in Koraput which cannot be changed now. However, he promised that he would announce a similar thing for the district after the model code of conduct is lifted.
