Sources from the Mizoram University Students Union said the students waited for the response of the registrar, Benjamina, to their memorandum till 1700 hrs. When the registrar failed to give any positive response, they started attacking his car, sources added.
As the agitating students locked the campus gate from the inside and formed a barricade, the police could do very little to keep off the fire which damaged the car beyond repair.
An agreement was made with the acting Vice-Chancellor Prof Tlanglawma, according to which the 1230 hours bus service would be resumed from tomorrow. Sources said this agreement would remain effective till the Vice-Chancellor's term expired after one month.
The bus service at that point of time was in place four to five years back. It was suspended due to shortage of buses and other administrative reasons, it was learnt.
