Academic activities come to a standstill at AMU
Aligarh: All academic activities at the AMU came to a halt on Wednesday with students protesting over the CAA boycotting classes and the vice-chancellor questioning if the university should remain open in this situation.
Examinations did not take place at AMU's Zakir Husain College of Engineering and Technology for the third consecutive day, with students again blocking the entrance.
VC Tariq Mansoor in an open letter to the university community said there was "no justification in keeping the university open" if classes and examinations are prevented from being held.
Some posters put up by student groups on the campus described the situation as a "lockdown".
The student groups are seeking the withdrawal of "false cases" against those who took part in protests against the amended citizenship act on December 15.
