Srinagar, Mar 16, KDC: State head of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojana (DDU-GKY) in an unacceptable move has dismissed at least 120 students pursuing Medical Laboratory Technician course from its Nowgam centre.
The state head dismissed these students merely on a request of “building change” which he alleged as indiscipline.
Few of these students while talking to news agency Kashmir Dot Com (KDC) said that the state head, Arshid Ahmad, depicted his high handedness and told us that he has got other four centers functional and will close down this one, because students had requested him to change the building.
The 11 month course of these students was gravely disrupted by the Covid-19, after being restarted some months back the students at the centre started feeling unwell, which they later sensed as “black-magic”.
As such these students approached the state head and requested him to change the building, to which he replied that he will look into it.
The students took a 5 day leave from him until the building was changed and everything turned normal again.
“Back home after 5 days my father called him (state head), he told my father that the students had created indiscipline and they fled from the course”, said Bilal Ahmad one of the students.
We requested him again to re-admit us to the course but he told us that he had closed down the centre.
For this behavior, the students told him that they will highlight this issue with the media and request the intervention from higher authorities.
Keeping his arrogance as such, he told us complaints against him least matter and it does not affect him at all, said another student wishing not to be named.
Despite repeated attempts Arshid Ahmad, state head of the DDU-GKY programme could not be reached for his remarks over the issue.
Meanwhile these students requested higher authorities to intervene in the matter and look after their career. (KDC)
