SRFTI Students Protest, Allege Denial of Facilities Amid Campus Security Concerns
Students at the Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute (SRFTI) continue an indefinite sit-in protest and academic boycott over campus security concerns, despite being asked to vacate hostels. They allege the administration has denied access to basic facilities like the mess, gym, music room, and film screening areas, describing these actions as collective punishment. The protest follows violent incidents on campus linked to clashes during an event by the Akhil Bharatiya Grahak Panchayat. The institute suspended academic activities until November 13 amid the standoff.
