INDIA, Nov. 25 -- National Conference leader Aga Syed Ruhullah Mehdi on Tuesday criticised the government for what he described as prolonged delays in resolving issues faced by students, particularly those linked to Vaishno Devi University admissions.

In a detailed statement, he said the uncertainty has caused deep distress among aspiring youths who, according to him, are being left in a state of hopelessness.

He said students were repeatedly assured that their matter would be settled within six months, yet a year has passed without clarity. He added that a fresh assurance given ahead of the Budgam Assembly election also failed to yield any outcome and that the promised resolution within a few days has stretched beyond a month.
