Panjab University Teachers Association (PUTA) has written to Chancellor and Vice-President M Venkaiah Naidu for including research scholars, teachers and non-teaching staff among frontline workers.
"Vaccination drive on the campus for the research scholars, chairpersons, office staff, PIs, teachers and other important officials should be done as frontline workers. It should be immediately strategised to facilitate the academic, administrative and research activities," read the PUTA letter.
"Vaccination is important for all above mentioned so that deadlines of projects, research-submission and other time-bound administrative works related to the research of the university do not suffer," PUTA added.
There are two vaccination centres on PU campus, where eligible citizens can get the vaccine.
PUTA also alleged administrative failure on part of Vice-Chancellor.
"The sudden announcement of opening the hostels and laboratories and then announcing their sudden closure, the university administration under the leadership of Vice Chancellor has made no cogent plan even after a period of more than a year. Research scholars are already protesting," they alleged.
The PU authorities though maintained that they had been following the guidelines from the UT Administration.
