Silchar, Sept 18:\u00a0<\/strong>Students at NIT Silchar have initiated a hunger strike to protest against the institution’s authorities in response to the recent tragic death of a fellow student. The administration has convened a meeting to address the pressing issues raised by the students and has passed a resolution.<\/p>\n

The key concerns being discussed include:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Attendance Policies: Students are seeking a reevaluation of the institution’s attendance policies, which they believe may have contributed to the student’s distress.<\/li>\n
  2. Medical Leave: The handling of medical leave and related policies is under scrutiny to ensure fairness and compassion for students facing health issues.<\/li>\n
  3. Supplementary Exams: Students are advocating for a more flexible approach to supplementary exams to accommodate those who may need additional support.<\/li>\n
  4. Committee Formation: A committee has been formed to investigate the circumstances surrounding the student’s tragic suicide, as well as instances of vandalism during the protests.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n

    Despite these measures, students have expressed dissatisfaction with the resolution as it does not address their demand for action against the Dean. Consequently, they have embarked on a hunger strike to emphasize their determination for justice.<\/p>\n

    The incident that led to this outcry involved Koj Buker, a third-year student at NIT Silchar, who tragically took his own life on campus. In response, his fellow classmates initiated a peaceful protest, which later escalated into violence. This escalation prompted the police to intervene, resulting in injuries to approximately 40 people.<\/p>\n

    Koj Buker, hailing from Arunachal<\/a><\/span> Pradesh, was discovered lifeless in his hostel room. His classmates resisted the authorities’ efforts to remove his body, accusing the college administration of contributing to his tragic demise.<\/p>\n

    The hunger strike initiated by the students underscores the urgency and importance of addressing their concerns comprehensively, including a thorough examination of the circumstances that led to this unfortunate incident and a review of institutional policies to prevent such tragedies in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
