Kashmir Observer
By Syed Sammar MehdiDays after a report brought its administration under scrutiny, the Central University of Kashmir on Wednesday issued a point-by-point rebuttal defending its decisions on accommodation, finances and personnel matters.
University officials said the earlier report, which extensively quoted Dean of Academic Affairs and Director of Media & Public Relations Dr. Shahid Rasool, overlooked key context and presented an incomplete picture.
ADVERTISEMENTThe university, the rebuttal reads, functions in accordance with the Central Universities Act, Government of India regulations, the General Financial Rules and other statutory provisions.
The university said those payments had no connection with the later allotment of the Vice-Chancellor’s official residence at Jawahar Nagar.
Earlier, a report titled How One Bungalow Led to Bigger Questions at Central University of Kashmir examined the university’s administration through Right to Information records, government documents and official responses.
