Several students were also reported to have joined the demonstration and missed their classes. SFS said that the University administration has said that the fee hike is due to inflation and claimed it to be complete sham. Adding the varsity is public-funded, the student body demanded that the administration must ensure the availability of food at a subsidised rate instead of a hike in fees for the common students.
