Fresh protests erupt at Jamia Millia Islamia hours after election announcement; students detained
Students are demanding a chief election officer and faster union polls. Protesters were detained as students raised slogans of ‘Delhi Police, go back.’
Jamia Millia Islamia, a university in New Delhi, has given a final warning to protesting students, urging them to vacate the Gulistan-e-Ghalib Building and Ghalib Lawn in the North Campus immediately. The notice also stated that students should leave the campus along with their companions. The administration has extended online classes until November 8, 2026, and decided to conduct the second mid-term semester examinations online.
PhD research scholars have been directed to consult their supervisors online. Failure to comply with the directive could result in disciplinary and legal action. Protesting students have rejected the university's notice and stated that they will continue their 14-day-long agitation until all their demands are met, including the restoration of the students' union and a definite timeline for elections.
