The NSU Coordinator Ranjit Karna said that the unions would jointly inform all the Valley-based TU constituent colleges about their latest agreement on Wednesday.
Nepal Commerce Campus was padlocked on Friday as the rival unions accused the establishment faction ANISU-R of admitting 600 students in Bachelor´s and Master´s level paying Rs 4 million.
Similarly, Saraswati Campus has been shut indefinitely as the ANNFSU cadres found that the ANNISU-R was compelling the college administration to admit four students with incomplete documents. Similarly, four Valley-based constituent colleges were also shut for indefinite period when those union cadres clashed on same issue on Sunday and Monday. The unions ad allegedly admitted around 3000 students in seven colleges spending more than Rs 12 million targeting election.
According to the ANNFSU President Madhav Dhungel, his organization was ready to appeal to the respective colleges to cancel all the admissions done after April 6, the day when the TU executive committee had announced fresh poll date for June 6.
However, the UCPN (Maoist) affiliated ANNISU-R had been rejecting the accusation of enrolling hundreds of union cadres in the campuses by paying millions of rupees within two days.
Earlier, ANNISU-R, NSU and ANNFSU had rampantly admitted their cadres in the government colleges taking campus chiefs and administration officials hostage till mid night on Thursday and Friday.
