CHANDIGARH: Days after "suicide" of his niece Dana Silva Sangma in Gurgaon, Meghalaya chief minister Mukul Sangma has demanded appointment of a nodal officer, preferably a woman, to assist the northeast students in case of any problem in Haryana.
Dana, a management student at Amity University, committed suicide after she was allegedly humiliated for cheating in the exam on April 24.
Around a week after the incident, Sangma wrote a letter to Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda, saying: "Tribal students from northeast studying in institutes of Haryana have a very fragile support structure to rely upon since their families live far away," The Meghalaya chief minister underlined the importance of administrative support such students.
Sangma has sought land to construct a hostel for these students in Gurgaon, and maintained that Gurgaon and Manesar have emerged as education hubs. He said the education institutes need to understand cultural diversity in the country. Sangama has demanded a CBI probe in the incident.
