Delhi University Students' Union Vice-President Rahul Jhansla has maintained a four-day sit-in protest, while five students continue an indefinite hunger strike as part of the 'DU Satyagraha,' citing unaddressed demands by the university administration. Jhansla described the protest site near the arts faculty as the 'Jantar Mantar of DU,' inviting wider student participation. A delegation representing the Vice-Chancellor urged the students to end the strike but threatened administrative action.
