Jamia shifts classes online amid campus unrest

Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) has shifted all classes to an online format immediately due to ongoing student protests over the restoration of the university's students union. This decision was announced on Saturday by the administration, citing student safety as their primary concern. The All India Students Association (AISA) accused the university of assaulting protesters while negotiations were taking place.

A hunger strike by five students has been ongoing for 13 days, with their demands including the restoration of the Jamia Millia Islamia Students Union (JMISU), the removal of the Chief Proctor, and the withdrawal of disciplinary action against students. The protests have continued at the protest site, with the AISA alleging that the administration targeted students and the hunger-strike location during their negotiations.
