Mangalore, July 23, 2013: Karnataka Dalit Sangharsha Samithi state union convener M Devdas said that the Mangalore University Vice Chancellor Prof T C Shivashankarmurthy have suspended three office bearers of Mangalore University Non Teaching staffs union.

Speaking at the press meet held on July 23, Tuesday, he said that the VC has suspended Govinda Matti, Vijayraj H and Ravi Prakash who had opposed the infrastructural work commenced for 400 meter track in the site reserved for the establishment of quarters for the non teaching staffs.

 

He also said that the members along with KDSS district Unit Corporation met VC personally to inform about the construction of track in the wrong site and submitted the memorandum on May 23, 2012.
