The office of the Visva-Bharati University Faculty Association (VBUFA) was locked up by the varsity authorities which claimed that the body does not have required strength to occupy a room in the campus.
The VBUFA claimed the decision stemmed from vindictive attitude as the teachers' body has been protesting several steps taken by the authorities, including a lecture by BJP MP Swapan Dasgupta, and the alleged attack on students.
An official spokesman of the university, however, said while VBUFA claimed to have the support of around 300 teachers, they could not back it up and a room cannot be allotted to an organisation having two-three members.
The letter, signed by the acting registrar, read "you are advised not to occupy or operate your office in the said premises and not to force open the lock/seal, failing which administrative action will be taken against you."
SFI leader Somnath Sau said, "Once the university opens on Monday we will decide the future course of agitation. Our peaceful movement will continue."
