Jamia Millia Islamia Takes Disciplinary Action Amid Student Protests Over Union Restoration
Jamia Millia Islamia administration has rusticated one student, suspended two others, and imposed a one-year campus ban on all three following their indefinite hunger strike demanding restoration of the university's student union, which has not held elections since 2006. The administration cited unauthorized protests and disruptions, including damage to CCTV cameras. Student groups allege that security personnel used force during the removal of hunger-striking students and have called for the revocation of punitive actions, restoration of the union, and an independent inquiry. Police detained and later released several protesting students amid heightened campus security.
