The Assam Cabinet on Tuesday expressed ‘utter dissatisfaction’ with the way the Dibrugarh University (DU) authorities have dealt with incidents of ragging in the institution.

Sarma, when asked about the incident said, “Assam Cabinet has expressed its dissatisfaction with the way DU has dealt with such a serious offence. The university authorities have failed to deal with the menace of ragging as lapses are apparent. In fact, this incident is an outcome of sheer administrative failure of the university as the inquiry committee of DU had, till yesterday, failed to submit its report on the incidents alleged to be going on since September.”
