When asked whether the salary would also be affected, Samant said that Chancellor’s representative had been asked to receive a call on which benefits to be detained.
VC has been asked to serve notifications and give staff 15 days to respond.
“If they don’t respond, VC will receive a call.
We may have to make that decision too.
Not that I have personal benefits in vaccinated teachers,” he said.
Samant made a statement on Friday during Aurangabad’s visit.
Speaking to the media, he said, “vaccination has been made mandatory for all teachers, professors, principals, or all the benefits will be stopped.” He added that when they “asked all students to be vaccinated and if students questioned the teachers who were not vaccinated, we would not have an answer.” He even warned the teacher’s association that did not want to be vaccinated.

No one will be allowed to do it.
