Work remains suspended as protest continues in JU

The teaching and non-teaching work in the University of Jammu (JU) remained suspended today owing to violent protests by students in support of their demands, including revocation of last month's suspension order against four students.

On March 22, the varsity authorities suspended four students and registered a police complaint against them for allegedly ransacking the Dean Students Welfare (DSW) office during a protest in support of their demands such as WiFi facility inside hostels and round-the-clock library facility for women students.

The decision to suspend work was taken last night at a meeting chaired by Dean Research Studies after representatives of various associations expressed resentment over the forcible blocking of all the entrances by misguided students, including some outsiders, and the violent approach adopted by them,
