Stung by Cooch Behar Panchanan Barma University’s step of leaving him out of the convocation function slated to be held tomorrow, West Bengal Governor Jagdeep Dhankhar has slapped a show-cause notice on Vice-Chancellor Debkumar Mukhopadhyay threatening him of removal from the VC’s office.

Dhankhar has invoked the power vested in him as the Chancellor of the university to initiate the step against Mukhopadhyay.

The VC has been asked to respond to the charges against him within the next 14 days. Mukhopadhyay can also explain his conduct by appearing before the Governor personally at 4 pm on February 28.

The VC has been also asked to immediately send the entire record pertaining to the convocation function to the Governor.
