The private university has also initiated an internal probe into the matter while the situation is being monitored by local authorities.
The students claimed that on Monday they requested for ‘sehri’ and ‘iftar’ arrangements to be made in the university mess amid the ongoing month of Ramzan. However, Tandon used abusive language against them and threatened to cancel their admissions, they alleged.
The students held a protest in the university and raised slogans against Tandon.
Channi said the services of V-C Tandon have been terminated and a committee led by the Jagraon sub-divisional magistrate has been formed to investigate the matter.
Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Jain said in an official statement that the district administration, in coordination with Ludhiana Rural senior superintendent of police and community leaders, amicably resolved the issue at CT University.
Jain said the students called off their agitation after the district administration ordered a thorough inquiry into the matter. (PTI)
