Jamia Millia Islamia Students Continue Protests Over Union Elections and Timelines
Students at Jamia Millia Islamia have been protesting since October 12, demanding the restoration of the student union and a clear timeline for elections, which have not been held since 2006. The university announced elections would occur within 15 days of approving the union constitution but did not specify a deadline for approval. Despite revoking suspensions and show-cause notices, the administration issued final warnings to vacate protest sites and extended online classes until November 8. Students continue hunger strikes and reject the administration's terms, seeking firm commitments and the resignation of key officials amid heightened security and detentions.
