Kataka: The dispute involving Kataka Sadar MLA Prakash Chandra Sethi and Ravenshaw University wardens has intensified, with the varsity teachers' association demanding an unconditional apology from the legislator while Sethi has sought action against Chief Warden Sudarshan Mishra through a letter to the Speaker of the Odisha Legislative Assembly.

In his letter, the MLA alleged that he had visited the university to address students' hostel-related grievances when the Chief Warden engaged in an argument with him. Claiming that the incident amounted to misconduct, Sethi urged the Speaker to ensure appropriate action against the Chief Warden.

On the other hand, the Ravenshaw Teachers' Association has strongly backed the Chief Warden and demanded an unconditional apology from the MLA.

Meanwhile, the agitation intensified on Wednesday as the Ravenshaw University Wardens' Association conducted a protest against the alleged misconduct by the MLA.

The wardens carried out a protest march and submitted a four-point memorandum to the Vice-Chancellor, outlining their demands.

A day earlier, the wardens had met the Vice-Chancellor and submitted their resignations in protest over the incident.
