Jamia Millia Islamia in New Delhi shifted classes online on October 24 after protesting students clashed with security guards during an ongoing agitation demanding the restoration of student union elections. The confrontation began when guards attempted to remove tents set up by protesters, including students on hunger strike. The protest started on October 12, seeking the revival of the Jamia Millia Islamia Students’ Union, which was dissolved in 2006 following campus violence. The university administration rejected allegations of an unprovoked crackdown. The registrar also accused 2 Congress MPs of disturbing the campus environment during their visit.
