Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has directed all the state Universities to evict unauthorized boarders from the hostels with immediate effect.

Universities across the state has to vacate all unauthorised boarders from the hostels and report back to the government in 7 days. In the order, the Secretary to Government of Assam, Higher Education department has been directed to take up necessary follow up action. The order stated it was brought to the notice of the Chief Minister that there are some former students or hostel boarders who have continued to stay on in the hostels of the Universities even after the completion of their course of studies.
This may lead to “vastation of the hostel environment as well as indiscipline along with possibility of undesirable activities,”the order stated.
Therefore in order to ensure a proper academic environment, Chief Minister Sarma has ordered that all unauthorised hostel boarders be evicted from the hostels immediately.

The worst part of this incident was the fact that, the main accused Rahul Chetry was a former student of the Dibrugarh University, but was staying at the PNGB Hostel unauthorisedly even after completing his studies.
