BHARATPUR: Minister for Education, Science, and Technology, Bidya Bhattarai, has stated that hooliganism in universities will not be tolerated and will receive no political protection.

She noted that security measures were requested from the Home Minister to address the recent disturbances at Tribhuvan University.

The minister stressed that the incident at TU was not about politics but rather a disruptive ruckus.
