Students at Jamia Millia Islamia resorted to climbing the university gates to join protest activities on campus, circumventing restrictions imposed by authorities. The action underscored the determination of demonstrators to participate despite severe limitations placed on campus operations.
The administration had suspended all classes and academic activities as part of measures to contain the situation. In addition to restricting entry and exit through official gates, water supply systems serving the campus were cut off, creating hardship for those present on the premises.
The restrictions came amid a significant police deployment around the university premises. The heightened security presence reflected concerns about the scale and nature of the ongoing demonstrations on campus.
The incident highlights escalating tensions at the Delhi-based institution, with student activism clashing against administrative and law enforcement responses. The blockade-like conditions, including supply cuts, have raised questions about proportionality of the measures adopted to manage the protest situation.
