The employees, who were removed from their services, were reportedly angry over the decision and are protesting outside the office of the director of the college. They said that they were given only a day's notice before they were let go.
A contractual staff told Tribune India, "I was appointed during the first wave. We were called back to duty before the end of the quarantine period, but we never objected."
