Bishnu Pada Ray has accused Anil Tiwari of escalating tensions over the university issue, as student protests intensify across the Andaman and Nicobar Islands with demands for a Central University gaining wider public support.
Union Budget 2026-27 focuses on Andaman & Nicobar Islands, promoting fisheries, coconut cultivation, tourism, inter-island connectivity, and tribal welfare, aiming to strengthen livelihoods, infrastructure, and sustainable economic development across the archipelago.
In an interview with The Wave Andaman, Ray said existing students will continue under Pondicherry University while he presses the Centre, including talks with Dharmendra Pradhan, to halt the deemed university move.
The MP visited the protest site, heard students’ concerns over the proposed deemed-to-be university, and urged submission of a written memorandum while assuring the issue has been raised with the Union Education Ministry.
