NIT Srinagar Students Wants Break Before Exams



The chain of events initiating from exit of Indian cricket team from T 20 World Cup in the last month, and subsequently raising Indian national flag in NIT Srinagar campus has taken decisive turn today as students are in favor of taking self-declared holidays to their homes, keeping aside their exams which started on 11 April.

As per media reports, nearly 500 students already left the NIT campus, and 500 more are planning to leave to their home towns in these couple of days with their parents consent as well as informing the same to college authorities. The students are likely to return as soon as this high temperature gets down for smooth functioning of college in next two weeks.

The NIT management agreed to demands of students to relax in exam schedule and allow to re-appear at later dates, in view of the highly charged atmosphere with events like police laticharge, snatching the national flag, re-hoisting the paperly drawn national flag while CRPF in campus, visit of MHRD ordered fact-finding team, accepting most of demands excluding shifting of campus from Srinagar. 

A day before actor Anupam Kher, who shares roots with Jammu and Kashmir, was stopped at Srinagar airport when tried to reach out to students to show his solidarity with students who raised Indian national flag and meet the injured during the police lati charge. The police also arrested a team of 150 member team of ‘Chalo NIT’ who tried to meet the students.
