Jamia Milia Islamia, JMI, students protested demanding the resumption of Moline academic activities on the campus and were assured by officials that the university will soon be reopened in a phased manner.
The left-affiliated All India Students’ Association (AISA), along with other student outfits and JMI students, demanded the reopening of the campus.
“Jamia has been closed for more than two years and students from all over the country have been demanding its reopening ever since the DDMA (Delhi Disaster Management Authority) guidelines to reopen all schools and colleges were released in the first week of February,” the outfits said in a statement, as reported by PTI.
Police started detaining them, claims students
Students claimed that when they reached in front of Gate No.7, the Delhi Police started detaining them. However, the police denied the charge. Seven students were detained in one batch and two students in the next batch, they alleged.
The Chief Proctor spoke to the protesters and announced that Jamia would reopen in phases and the notification for the first phase would be released by Tuesday.
The protesting students threatened to go on a stir if the notification for reopening was not issued by Tuesday.
