SRFTI Extends Campus Closure to December 11 Amid Student Protests
The Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) has extended its campus closure until December 11 amid ongoing student protests triggered by alleged attacks during events linked to RSS-affiliated groups. The institute suspended academic activities on October 16, directing students to vacate the campus. Students allege coercive measures, collective punishment, and deprivation of basic necessities, while the administration cites outside elements politicizing the issue. Faculty members have faced show-cause notices and terminations amid the tensions.
