Shillong, Nov 20 The indefinite hunger strike by the students of North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) entered the 16th day on Wednesday, and the protesters vowed to continue the stir even as a two-member inquiry committee, set up by the Union Education Ministry, will arrive here in a day or two.

西隆11月20日電東北山大學(NEHU)學生無限期絕食週三進入第16天，抗議者誓言即使聯合教育部成立兩人調查委員會也要繼續騷亂，一兩天後就會到達這裡。

The students of NEHU, the northeast's oldest Central varsity in Shillong, remained firm on their demand to remove “incompetent” Vice Chancellor Prabha Shankar Shukla and “illegally" appointed top officials, including Registrar Col Omkar Singh (Retd) and Deputy Registrar Amit Gupta.

位於西隆的東北最古老的中央大學NEHU的學生們仍然堅定地要求罷免“無能”的副校長普拉巴·香卡·舒克拉(Prabha Shankar Shukla)，並“非法”任命高級官員，包括註冊官奧姆卡·辛格上校(退役軍人)和副註冊官阿米特·古普塔。

The leaders of the North Eastern Hill University Students Union (NEHUSU), which has been spearheading the agitation since November 5, held meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday and decided to continue their agitation.

自11月5日以來一直帶頭煽動的東北山大學學生會（NEHUSU）的領導人在周二和周三舉行會議，決定繼續煽動。

The NEHUSU meetings were held after Meghalaya Chief Secretary Donald P. Wahlang requested the students to suspend their protest pending the completion of the inquiry instituted by the Union Ministry of Education.

NEHUSU 會議是在梅加拉亞邦首席秘書唐納德·瓦朗 (Donald P. Wahlang) 要求學生在聯邦教育部完成調查之前暫停抗議後舉行的。

The Ministry of Education, earlier, formed the two-member inquiry committee headed by former University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman Prof D. P. Singh, with former Assam University Vice Chancellor Prof Dilip Chandra Nath as the member.

教育部早前成立了由前大學教育資助委員會（UGC）主席DP Singh教授領導的兩人調查委員會，成員包括前阿薩姆大學副校長Dilip Chandra Nath教授。

The Ministry has asked the committee to investigate the allegations of the students and others and submit recommendations within 15 days.

教育部已要求委員會調查學生和其他人的指控，並在 15 天內提交建議。

Meghalaya Education Minister Rakkam Sangma said that Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma had already talked with Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on the stalemate in NEHU and the UGC has constituted a committee to look into the details of the issues.

梅加拉亞邦教育部長 Rakkam Sangma 表示，首席部長 Conrad K. Sangma 已與聯邦教育部長 Dharmendra Pradhan 就 NEHU 的僵局進行了交談，教資會已成立一個委員會來調查問題的細節。

Urging the students to call off their hunger strike, Rakkam Sangma expressed concern over the deteriorating health of the agitating students.

拉卡姆·桑瑪敦促學生停止絕食，並對騷亂學生健康狀況惡化表示擔憂。

The strike would also affect their academic activities, the minister said.

部長說，罷工也將影響他們的學術活動。

A host of dignitaries and politicians met the agitating students on the NEHU campus and talked with the students.

多位政要和政要在東北大學校園會見了激動的學生並與學生交談。

Earlier Meghalaya Governor and the NEHU’s Chief Rector Chandrashekhar H. Vijayashankar, Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma appealed to the agitating students to call off their protest.

早些時候，梅加拉亞邦州長和NEHU首席校長Chandrashekhar H. Vijayashankar、首席部長Conrad K. Sangma呼籲煽動的學生停止抗議。

The NEHU students also wrote a letter to President Droupadi Murmu detailing the situation in the varsity and sought her intervention to resolve the ongoing imbroglio.

NEHU 的學生還寫了一封信給校長 Droupadi Murmu，詳細說明了校隊的情況，並尋求她的干預以解決持續存在的糾紛。

Before going on leave last week, VC Shukla on several occasions, urged the students to call off their agitation and hold talks so that normal academic activities could be resumed in the university.

上週休假前，VC Shukla多次敦促學生停止騷動，舉行會談，以便學校恢復正常的學術活動。

NEHUSU General Secretary Toniho S. Kharsati told the media that they are not happy with the clarification of the VC about their demands.

NEHUSU 秘書長 Toniho S. Kharsati 告訴媒體，他們對 VC 對他們的要求的澄清並不滿意。

He also said they would continue with their agitation until and unless their demands were accepted by the authorities.

他還表示，他們將繼續鼓動，直到當局接受他們的要求為止。

Due to the incompetence of all top varsity officials, including the VC, the NEHU’s rank has slipped 21 points to 101 in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) ranking, Kharsati claimed.

Kharsati 聲稱，由於包括 VC 在內的所有校隊高層官員的無能，NEHU 在國家院校排名框架 (NIRF) 排名中的排名下滑了 21 分，降至第 101 位。

He said that the students demanded that all "incompetent" top officials along with those "illegally" appointed must be removed for the interest of the students and the varsity.

他說，學生們要求為了學生和校隊的利益，必須罷免所有「無能」的高級官員以及「非法」任命的官員。

"Since the incumbent VC took charge of the University in 2021, no important academic development has taken place, and instead rankings of the important institution have been going down. Incompetent people were appointed in the top position," he said.

他說：“自2021年現任副校長接管大學以來，學術沒有發生任何重大發展，重要機構的排名反而不斷下降。高層任命了無能的人。”

The influential North East Students' Organisation (NESO), an apex body of eight students' organisations representing seven NE states, Khasi Students Union’s NEHU unit and the Meghalaya Tribal Teachers' Association are also supporting the protest.

有影響力的東北學生組織（NESO）、代表東北七個邦的八個學生組織的最高機構、卡西學生會的NEHU單位和梅加拉亞部落教師協會也支持抗議活動。
