  "account": "Despite a security presence more than double the previous day, tensions persisted at Jamia Millia Islamia's protest site on Monday. Over 40 students faced brief detentions and scuffles erupted between protesters and security personnel. A legal notice was issued by the university, demanding the vacating of the protest site near Gulistan-e-Ghalib. Five students had begun a hunger strike for union polls and other demands, with three of them continuing their fast as of Monday. Another student joined the hunger strike on Tuesday, while others joined in protests outside the campus. The university announced the continuation of online classes through Diwali holidays and the second mid-semester examinations in online mode. It also directed PhD scholars to consult their supervisors online. Protests continued, with students holding banners and chanting slogans demanding a fixed timeline for the approval of their union constitution and election announcement within 15 days.",
