Jadavpur University students began a sit-in today outside the Aurobindo Hall to protest against provisions of a bill that effectively dissolves the students unions.
The agitating students are demanding immediate revocation of the bill, which had been passed in the West Bengal Assembly last year.'The bill will turn the
democratically elected students unions redundant and vest all authorities on the university executive council, which cannot be allowed under any circumstances,'
a spokesperson of Arts Faculty Students Union (AFSU) said.The members of AFSU and Faculty of Engineering and Technology Students Union (FETSU) sat in
front of the Aurobindo Bhavan of JU, as the executive council members including the vice-chancellor pro-VC and Registrar were in a meeting inside.
