TEZPUR University in Assam remains gripped by a widening student agitation as Congress MP and state party chief Gaurav Gogoi seeks the Prime Minister's intervention, flagging "widespread dissatisfaction" among students, faculty and staff, alleging administrative misconduct, poor accountability and "poor institutional management" under V-C Prof Shambhu Nath Singh.

Tensions followed Singh's alleged insensitive remarks after the death of music icon Zubeen Garg and the university's failure to observe the state mourning period, prompting a magisterial inquiry by the Sonitpur administration.
