Kavre, Jan.28 Kathmandu University (KU) has resumed its classes from Tuesday after the professors and staffers of the university agreed to operate classes immediately.
Employees and professors had locked down the university since January 1, 2020, stating that the KU administration had repeatedly failed to implement the previous agreements.
Chairman of the protesting Professor Union Bedmani Dahal said that the university had resumed its classes.
But the padlocking of the offices of Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar will continue till the implementation of the agreement, he informed.
Earlier, the protesting group had locked down the university from August 8 to September 16, 2019.
During the time, a four-point agreement was made to end the padlocking. The same group had locked down the University asking the implementation of an earlier agreement. During that time, the KU had agreed with the Professor's Union and the Employees' Union to give official recognition to them, to have their representatives in the university meetings, to investigate economic and policy corruption and to develop an instinct.
Vice-Chancellor of Kathmandu University, Prof. Dr. Ramakantha Makaju said that implementation of the agreement with the agitating parties was underway
