Orders to freeze bank accounts of varsities in Bihar revoked

PATNA [Maha Media]: The Bihar Education Department withdrew its controversial orders freezing bank accounts of most of the state universities and withholding salaries of vice-chancellors and other officials for failure to comply with its directions.
