,The Island

By Cyril Wimalasurendre

KANDY – There would be no more-ragging in the Peradeniya University from the beginning of the new term for the freshers, assured its vice chancellor, Professor Athula Senaratne on Saturday.

Addressing a media conference Prof. Senaratne said that the decision to do away with ragging was taken with the agreement of the students unions of the university.

The union leadership also agreed with the proposal to refrain from ragging new-comers in order to prevent hardship to the new-comers and also to prevent the discredit brought to the prestigious university, the vice-chancellor added.
