Chandigarh, May 3

The Panjab University Teachers Association (PUTA) has written to the Vice-Chancellor, Panjab University, for not issuing letters of appointment under CAS promotions. The association has alleged that its representatives have been misled by the authorities on various occasions.

The letter reads: “Even after three months, the teachers concerned have not been issued the letters of appointment under CAS promotions. PUTA has made several requests, however, it has repeatedly been misled.”

The president of PUTA claimed that during a telephonic conversation, the Vice-Chancellor was apprised of the issue. “We were asked to contact the Secretary to Vice-Chancellor, who passed on the buck to the Registrar. However, the file is still pending with the Secretary,” said Mritunjay Kumar, president of PUTA. The association has threatened that its executive will meet on the issue on May 7 and will take further decision depending on the response received from the office of Vice-Chancellor.
