HFUCTO Opposes Haryana Government's Plan to Abolish Vacant University Posts
The Haryana Federation of University and College Teachers Organisations (HFUCTO) opposes the Haryana Government's decision to abolish vacant sanctioned posts in state universities after they remain unfilled for four years. HFUCTO leaders, including president Jitender Khatkar and general secretary Dayanand Malik, argue that vacancies arise due to administrative delays and statutory requirements, and that abolishing posts could harm academic and administrative functions. They announced a dharna at Kurukshetra University on September 1 to demand reconsideration and urge transparent recruitment processes.
