Jamia Millia Islamia Shifts All Classes Online As Students' Protest Enters Day 13

Jamia Millia Islamia has moved all classes online immediately, effective Saturday, as a security precaution amid ongoing student protests that have entered their 13th day. The university cited the safety and well-being of students, as well as maintaining academic continuity, as reasons for the shift. This decision comes as students continue to demand the restoration of their Jamia Milia Islamia Students Union (JMISU) and the removal of the campus Chief Proctor, who they accuse of a crackdown on protesters.

Several students have been on a hunger strike, while some allege they are being assaulted by university staff amid ongoing negotiations. The university directed all faculty members and students to participate regularly in online classes and provide academic support. The All India Students Association condemned the violent atmosphere at the protest site, vowing to stand firm until their demands for the JMISU's reinstatement are met.
