ITANAGAR, May 2: The All Arunachal Pradesh Students' Union (AAPSU) has condemned the high-handedness by the Rajiv Gandhi University administration leading to a hostile atmosphere in the lone central university of the state.
The Union said this during an emergency sitting held on Saturday here under the chairmanship of Tobom Dai, General Secretary, AAPSU to discuss the issue arising out of hostel vacation order served to students and the research scholars in Rajiv Gandhi University, Doimukh by the University administration. 
The Union expressed its serious resentment against the arbitrary nature and the tenor by which the hostel vacation order was previously issued to the students by the RGU administration. 
While highlighting the seriousness of the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic across the country and the rising positive cases across the state,  Dai urged all the students including the research scholars of Rajiv Gandhi University and other educational institutions across the state to strictly adhere to SOPs issued by the union and the state governments from time to time. 
The AAPSU on behalf of the entire students fraternity of the state makes a fervent appeal to the RGU administration for immediately recalling back its show-cause notice which was previously issued to Prem Taba, General Secretary of RGU-RSF (Rajiv Gandhi University Research Scholars Forum). We are really pained to see the happenings inside the university campus. Any attempts to stifle genuine democratic voice of the students community in the Rajiv Gandhi University and other educational institutions in the state shall not be tolerated by the AAPSU, added Dai.
The Union reviewed its earlier demand made with the State Government for release of pending stipend/scholarship for the eligible students. It was resolved that a follow-up of the same shall be made with the concerned officials/ministers in the Government of Arunachal Pradesh and the AAPSU shall continue to strongly press for immediate release of pending stipend as well as scholarship for the eligible students.
