Jamshedpur: Kolhan University has come under scrutiny as 146 bell-based teachers have not received their salaries for the past five months, leading to severe financial distress among them. Adding to the turmoil, there are reports of the university planning to terminate the services of 35 teachers, a move vehemently opposed by the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP).
