No convener committee formed Anna University’s Vice-Chancellor M.K. Surappa, whose tenure was marked by hostile relations with the government, will demit office on Sunday with no clarity on who will head the university administration.
A convener committee to handle the administration of the university has not been formed yet.
At the same time, till Saturday evening, Mr. Surappa said he had not received any communication from Governor and Chancellor Banwarilal Purohit on extending his term.
Last year, Mr. Purohit had extended the tenure of the V-Cs of Alagappa University and Bharathidasan University on their last working day, triggering a controversy. In the case of then BDU V-C P. Manisankar, the extension order came after he had demitted office and left town.

The district administration had permitted Mini Clinics, primary healthcare centres to administer the jab. At the Tiruchi Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital, nearly 600 to 700 people receive the shot daily, while across the district, at least 4000 people are inoculated every day. We need to continue to go to work to sustain ourselves and our families. With rise in cases, we must do everything we can to protect ourselves,’ M. Saindhavi, who had taken a shot on Friday said.
