The Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) administration has taken serious cognizance of a scuffle that took place last night between two student groups at the university campus. In a statement, the JNU administration said that it has come to the notice of the administration that several academic buildings inside the campus were reportedly locked by a group of protesting students. It said that the protesting students entered the Central library and reportedly threatened the unwilling students and intimidated them to join the protest. The university said it has learnt that this led to a scuffle between two student groups on campus.
The JNU administration has condemned such unruly behaviour, saying that it is aimed at the destruction of public property and its inclusive ethos. The University said that strict action is being taken to ensure a proper academic environment on the campus. The administration said it is committed to safeguarding the academic interests and well-being of all the students and protecting the public property of the University. It also requested all stakeholders to desist from indulging in any kind of unwarranted activity and cooperate in maintaining peace and harmony on the campus, failing which, strict disciplinary action will be taken as per rules.
