Some text missing

Dharwad-based Karnatak University’s 63rd convocation held last week saw some moments that would have been comical had they not been so tense for the organisers. The convocation was to be inaugurated by the chancellor, who also happens to be the governor of the state — in this case, H Bhardwaj. But when the emcee requested the chancellor to declare the convocation inaugurated, Bhardwaj could not find the text he was supposed to read out. The vice-chancellor and other officials spent a good 10 anxious minutes looking for the speech, and it was finally located by an official who handed it to the governor to read out.
