Udaipur, May 19 (Udaipur Kiran) — The ongoing dispute within BN Institution (Vidya Pracharini Sabha) intensified further on Monday as one faction reopened the institution’s offices after 45 days, while another group of 89 members wrote to chief patron and president Maharana Vishvaraj Singh Mewar against former secretary Mahendra Singh Agaria.
Following the Rajasthan High Court’s decision, administrative offices of BN Institution (Vidya Pracharini Sabha) were reopened after remaining locked for 45 days. The offices of the secretary and managing director resumed regular operations on Monday.
After the reopening, a delegation of around 40 members, including office-bearers of the VP Sabha, met secretary Dr Mahendra Singh Agaria and objected to alleged interference in the institution’s daily functioning by non-members. Members stated that since the general body had authorised the current executive committee to continue functioning until elections are conducted, creating confusion regarding the institution was inappropriate.
Dr Agaria said the offices of the 103-year-old institution had been temporarily closed to safeguard important administrative records and documents. He added that all units of the institution continued functioning smoothly during this period.
Meanwhile, amid the continuing dispute, 89 members of Vidya Pracharini Sabha submitted a separate letter to Maharana Vishvaraj Singh Mewar. In the letter, the members condemned alleged anti-institution activities by certain individuals and criticised what they described as disrespectful behaviour towards the chief patron.
The members further claimed that former secretary Dr Mahendra Singh Agaria had neither been authorised nor granted any authority to file writ petitions in the High Court on behalf of the institution or the Sabha.
