Jamia Millia Islamia Students Protest for Union Restoration Amid Campus Restrictions
Students at Jamia Millia Islamia have been protesting since October 12, demanding the restoration of the university's students' union, dissolved in 2006. The administration suspended three hunger-striking students and ordered others removed from a protest site near Gate No. 7, citing disruption and designating Gate No. 18 for protests. Students allege forcible eviction and restricted campus access, while the university closed two libraries over security concerns. Police removed some protesters without charges, and tensions remain over dialogue and protest space.
