Shillong, May 11: Citing inaction by college authorities, students of the College of Post Graduate Studies in Agricultural Sciences (CPGSAS), CAU (Imphal), Umiam, on Monday staged a sit-in protest on campus seeking immediate action against Prof. Pranab Dutta, Chairman of the School of Crop Protection.
