Administrative activities at Pabna University of Science and Technology (PUST) are being badly disrupted due to the teachers' division centring the recent major reshuffle of the university administration.

On Friday, newly appointed Assistant Proctor Uttam Kumar filed a general diary (GD) with Sadar Police Station against former Proctor Awal Kabir Joy and senior teacher Abdul Alim after a group of 15 to 20 men threatened his wife Tilottoma Chowdhury on Thursday night.

According to the GD, Awal Kabir Joy and Abdul Alim threatened Uttam with dire consequences soon after Uttam joined the assistant proctor's post.

Meanwhile, Awal Kabir Joy and Abdul Alim filed two separate GDs with the police station against the newly appointed proctor and assistant proctor on Saturday night making same allegetions.

“I have talked with both the factions and they assured me of withdrawing their complaints against each other,” PUST Vice-Chancellor Dr Rostom Ali said.

“Reshuffle is a regular process in the administration” the VC said, adding that the process will continue in the future as well because no one can hold any post for long.
