Allahabad University to hold talks today with protesting students over fee hike
Allahabad University has announced that it has decided to hold talks with the protesting students today with certain conditions. Allahabad University Vice-Chancellor Sangita Srivastava has also formed a high-level committee of teachers and district administrative officers and have invited the students to the North Hall of the varsity to hold talks.Â
The Allahavad University has said that it has also mentioned the names of the students who are not currently studying in the varsity in the list presented by the students for talks. However, after waiting for two hours, the members decided to resume talks on September 29 with a condition that the talks will not include former members of the student union, suspended students, students of other colleges or alumni.
It must be noted that students have been protesting for over a month now over the 400-time hiks in fees, however, the Vice Chancellor Sangita Srivastava recently said that the complaints are misdirected.
Meanwhile, the protesting students have threatened to take "bhu samadhi" by burying themselves in a pit they dug at their protest site. “The members of the high level committee called legitimate students to speak, but the names presented by the students included former student union president Richa Singh, who are currently not students of the university. The university is ready to listen to the problems of its legitimate students. But it becomes clear from the list that the chaos in the campus is being spread only by some selfish elements due to their vested interests and political ambition,” the university said in its official Twitter handle.
