SMU lash on Non teaching staff
GANGTOK, April 6: A backlash is imminent on those non-teaching staff of Sikkim Manipal University for extending support to the All Sikkim Democratic Labour Front (ASDLF) in its two-day bandh call in Sikkim which ended today morning at 6 am.
The ASDLF, a frontal organization of the ruling SDF party, had conducted the 48-hours general strike to protest the discrimination of Sikkimese workers by the private companies, power projects and educational institutions including the SMU which runs an engineering institute, a medical college and other educational units in the State.
The bandh call had been supported by the non-teaching staff of the SMU who already has several issues with the university management. On the first day of the bandh, there was a vociferous argument between the bandh enforcers and SMU management.
Having defied the SDF bandh call, the SMU has now turned its attention towards those employees who had ‘proved themselves disloyal to the organization’ by throwing its rule book on them. A circular was issued today by SMU pro vice chancellor Brig Somnath Mishra to the non-teaching staff of Sikkim Manipal Institute of Technology (SMIT) recording that ‘severe disciplinary action’ as per the university rules ‘will be initiated against such defaulting employees’.
As per the university service rules, an employee has been forbidden to be a ‘member or associated with any political party or organization which takes part in politics or subscribe aid, take part or assist any political movement or activity or contest for membership of Panchayat, Boards, Municipality, Legislature or Parliament’. The employees have also been ruled out from establishing contact with the press or the media or cause to be published any material which can lower the image of the university in any manner.
Quoting media reports, the SMU authority said that ‘some some non teaching employees of the SMIT are indulging in such activities in contraventions to the laid down rules in University Service Rules thus proving themselves disloyal to the organization’.
“It is to be noted that severe disciplinary action under the rules will be initiated against such defaulting employee”, said the SMU pro vice chancellor in his circular.However, sources within the non-teaching staff have claimed that such rules had been framed within themselves by the SMU management. Most of the employees are vague of such regulations which were never spelled out to us before or after our appointment, they said. They reiterated that the SMUY has not fulfilled its commitments to the local Sikkimese.

Such vice chancellor and people who do not respect government and state .. rule and regulation ..and have no respect for the people who actually doing the ground job in the institution , need to be completely thrown out of the state of Sikkim … and such organization who do not stand and abide with the MOU ( memorandum of understanding ) of Sikkim State government have no right to carry out its organization in these Peaceful and Beautiful state of Sikkim … Its high time that government take strict action against the Vice Chancellor of SMU.. and provide security to the Innocent and Helpless local people … who are not getting right to voice there grievances even in there own STATE … Shameful to say we are SIKKIMESE
