Professors of University of Mysore, who have retired after April 1, 2018, have threatened to begin an agitation from Friday seeking release of full pensionary benefits.
In a letter addressed to Vice-Chancellor Hemantha Kumar, the retired professors said they will gather in front of Crawford Hall in Mysuru on Friday and begin their dharna.
“The University is supposed to give DCRG (Death-Cum-Retirement Gratuity) and other benefits immediately on the day of superannuation. But, surprisingly, it is not the case in reality. All of us (particularly for those 45 professors, who superannuated after April 1, 2018 till this day), are given only half of the pensionary benefits; the other half of the amount is due to us from the University”, the letter said.
A plethora of questions, a blast of answers

Michael Titus and Amelia “Millie” Heidenreich, general manager of food contractor Sodexo at Norwich University, answered wide-ranging queries at a virtual town hall.
On Saturday, Titus and student Regimental Commander Caleb Miller posted a second video to explain recognition for rooks, first-year recruits for the Corps.

The proposed underpass or road underbridge at the railway gate adjacent to the Crawford Hall has been allocated ₹2 crore in the budget.
This is set to give a reprieve to the motorists using the stretch connecting to Bogadi Main Road. The movement of trains to Nanjangud and Chamarajanagar, apart from the shunting of rakes and engines at Ashokapuram, used to result in traffic hold-ups.
The Mysuru-Chamarajanagar section has seven pairs of trains which means 14 services besides the movement of rakes which was a major irritant for public using the stretch due to frequent hold-ups.
However, in pursuit of its policy to eliminate all manned and unmanned level crossing gates to increase safety, the railway authorities have released ₹2 crore for the works against the estimated cost of ₹2.5 crore.
