Escalating unrest has gripped Delhi universities as students resort to hunger strikes to press their demands. At JNU, the protest has entered its second week, with John Brittas urging the President to intervene and resolve the stalemate.
The JNU students' union alleges they have been denied medical care during the strike, while university officials say they have held two rounds of talks with the hunger‑striking students to address their concerns.
The situation has been covered by outlets such as The Hindu, Telegraph India, The New Indian Express and Deccan Chronicle.
