Students of Pondicherry University protesting against a fee hike were manhandled and loaded into police buses on day twenty of their indefinite strike. The students’ council of the university posted on Twitter that the protestors were not being allowed to use the washrooms, or re-enter the campus after going out, thus leaving them with “no food and very little water”. The council also warned of heavy CRPF deployment on the campus.
The CRPF has actively cut off access to all facilities, trumping the authority of the police. Forces still flooding the Admin Block.
