The education department on Friday removed the higher secondary council president, Chiranjib Bhattacharjee, a move he called “unexpected “ and “unfortunate”. “On Friday, I expected a congratulatory message from the education department on the successful completion of the semesterised Plus-II board examination. The order came between exams, as practical exams have not yet started.” The practical exams are scheduled from March 2 to March 23. An education department official explained that Bhattacharjee was replaced because managing both the university and the council simultaneously was challenging, and he was expected to give full attention to JU. “Removing the council president when the board exams is still on does not look good.
