ILAM: After eight months of closure, the campus chief's office at the Mahendra Ratna Multiple Campus, is finally reopening.

The All Nepal National Independent Students' Union (Revolutionary), a Maoist-aligned student union had padlocked the office in March 24 demanding that Jas Bahadur Lungeli, the campus chief, resign for his failure to hold student election.

The chief had called a meeting to resolve the matter, but the ANNISU (R) pressed for his resignation which led to a deadlock.

After several attempts, ANNISU(R) has finally agreed to hold talks with Lungeli.

"We have initiated the dialogue process and formed a five- member team," said Ganju Pradhan , a member of the talk team.
