While denying the claims of SFI state president, a student wing leader said, “It is an internal matter of the university and only its authorities can clarify why they have taken such a decision. We have nothing to do with this decision.”

TMCP controls more than 90 per cent of the student unions at the 145 colleges affiliated to the university.

Meanwhile, Calcutta University is also taking steps to ban the sale of junk food on campuses.
