Police has lathicharged the students protesting outside the office of University Grants Commission. The students union was protesting against the commission’s move to scrap non-National Eligibility Test (NET) fellowship.
Earlier, students from different universities protested against the decision of commission.
Students came from across universities including JNU, Delhi University, Jamia Millia Islamia University and Ambedkar University and joined the protest.
After several rounds of meetings with the UGC officials failed to reach a decision, they decided to “occupy UGC” till the decision is withdrawn.
