The protesting teachers claim that the university has been under the management of the current Vice-Chancellor since July 3 of the previous year. Due to the prolonged absence of a new vice-chancellor appointment, they have been denied promotions. The incumbent Vice-Chancellor lacks the authority to make appointments and promotions, resulting in the teachers' stagnation.
Their demands include the immediate resignation of the current Vice-Chancellor and the appointment of a regular Vice-Chancellor to address these issues.
