The university has also been asked to inform what documents are available if there is a technical hindrance to it," wrote the Kerala minister.The minister added that the state government is concerned about the health of the student."Personally, I'm concerned too. As soon as we get an explanation from the university, we will do the needful to ensure justice for the student. If the decision to remove the alleged teacher from the post is delayed, the government will ask the university to remove the teacher."The Kerala Minister requested to the student withdraw from the strike with this assurance. "Deepa cannot be met in person as she was hospitalized after testing positive for COVID-19.#deepapmohanan #mguniversity," Bindu added.Meanwhile, the University has removed the teacher from the post, an official statement by the university said.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
