\nThe rally, which started from the University office, culminated at Raj Bhavan where the students submitted a two-point memorandum to the Governor.
\nThe memorandum signed by PGSU presidents of the three NU campuses, demanded unconditional revocation of suspension orders with charge sheets against ten University teachers by the vice chancellor, and immediate resumption of classes and other academic activities by teachers.
\nThe rallyists carried placards, some of which read \u201cVC revoke suspension order immediately,\u201d \u201cShow us with love and resume our classes,\u201d \u201cSatyagraha for education,\u201d \u201cWe want agitation-free university\u201d and \u201cStop murdering education and resume classes immediately.\u201d
\nPGSU in the memorandum said twenty two days of complete academic closure since August 26, had done irreparable damage to careers of the students and apprehension of the crisis prolonging further had totally demoralized students.
\nThe memorandum also stated that careers of more than one thousand students of NU doing their under graduate agriculture courses, post graduate studies in twenty five departments and Ph.D Scholars spread across three different campuses were put at stake due to continuous unresolved dispute between the vice chancellor and NUTA.
\nIt also recalled that the Union had put up numerous representations and undertook sit-ins, mass rallies and poster campaigns to press for immediate resumption of classes and solution to the various problems dogging the university.
\nPGSU further reminded that the Union had even relaxed the September 8 deadline served to the vice chancellor to resolve the various problems to September 15.
\n\u201cHowever, to our dismay all efforts went in vain and students are victimized till date,\u201d PGSU said. PGSU hoped that the Governor would promptly intervene and do the needful at the earliest.
