Days after a JNU student approached the Delhi High Court flagging his inability to attend classes due to continuous protests, the students' union, in an emergency council meeting on Monday, decided to demonstrate at a particular spot on the campus instead of at multiple locations.

Days after a JNU student approached the Delhi High Court flagging his inability to attend classes due to continuous protests, the students' union, in an emergency council meeting on Monday, decided to demonstrate at a particular spot on the campus instead of at multiple locations.

"After due deliberations, the union calls for a protest at the Freedom Square next week. Taking into consideration the concerns of the students as expressed to the JNUSU, there is a need to reassess the present mode of agitation," one of the resolutions unanimously passed during the meeting said, and added that the union hence decided to hold protests at one spot inside the JNU premises.

Ever since the administration made 75 per cent attendance compulsory to all students, students community have been holding various forms of protests on campus to register their protest against the move.

The students even allegedly locked down the schools and centres.

Three days back, a final year PhD student had approached the HC seeking its intervention into the continuous agitations that were causing inconvenience to the student.

Consulting the SC/ST commission by next week seeking its help into the alleged violation of the reservation policy by the administration, and support to reinstate the discarded GSCASH in toto were some of the other resolutions passed in the meeting.
