Jamia Millia Islamia Moves Classes Online Amid Student Protests Over Union Restoration
Jamia Millia Islamia has shifted all classes online indefinitely amid ongoing student protests demanding the restoration of the students' union, dissolved in 2006. The university cited safety and security concerns following clashes between protesters and campus guards. Five students have been on hunger strike since October 12, seeking union elections, withdrawal of disciplinary actions, and removal of the Chief Proctor. The administration formed committees to draft a new union constitution, but talks with students remain inconclusive, with protests continuing.
