Clashes break out at Jamia protest, campus shut, classes go online
Reported by Times of India, not nibnow. We are not the publisher of this story, only the source is.
The university has moved all classes online and closed the campus, disrupting students' education and daily life.
Jamia Millia Islamia has opted for an online class format and closed its physical campus amid escalating student protests. Demonstrators are campaigning for the reinstatement of their student union, which has been non-existent since 2006. Tensions soared when security forces reportedly used aggression against hunger strikers. The administration has asked students to halt protests, following unsuccessful dialogue attempts, with the campus remaining shut for safety.
Jamia Millia Islamia's student union was dissolved in 2006, and its absence has been a longstanding source of student activism, making protests over its reinstatement a recurring issue on Indian campuses.
