JAMMU, Aug 19: Continuing the protest for 8th day, students of KC Law College protested outside the Jammu University on Wednesday and also blocked the campus main gate for some time.
They were demanding reduction in annual fees, particularly waiver of additional charges and also relaxation in depositing the fee in installments because of financial constraints of their parents due to COVID-19 pandemic. They raised slogans in support of their demands and urged the Jammu University Vice-Chancellor to issue necessary instructions in this regard
The protesting students were led by Abheet Sangotra and Shivam Gupta who accused the university authorities of forcing them to protest for their genuine demands during this pandemic when people even fear to step out of their homes.
“It seems like a big money nexus is operating in the college and the university due to which the future of the students is at stake,” they alleged and once again appealed Lt Governor Manoj Sinha as well as Chief Justice of JK High Court, Gita Mittal to intervene into this matter and resolve the issue at the earliest.
The protest demonstration was joined by Sakshi Bhat, Twinkle, Seemantika Tickoo, Navleen Kour, Supriya Gandotra, Rudra Partap Singh Kotwal, Asif Khan, Digvijay Singh, Vishal Sandhu, Parv Sharma, Nakul Sharma, Amit Sharma, Kanav Chandval, Kashif Choudhary, Hasnain Jafri, Amir Choudhary, Mustafa Choudhary, Mohd Tanveer, Mannan Rahid, Rahil Khan, Yasir Chowdhary, Rahul Dev, Rahil Rajput, Ayaan Ahmed, Hasnain Jafri and Vishal Khajuria.
