Aligarh Muslim University Announces Student Union Elections After Eight Years
Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) has announced student union elections for November 5, ending an eight-year gap without polls. The decision follows sustained student protests, including a 15-day hunger strike by a postgraduate student demanding the union's restoration. The union's revival is seen as crucial for student representation on issues like hostels, food, and campus facilities. The university administration has also removed the Proctor amid the unrest. Students await the elections to be held as scheduled to regain formal leadership.
