Jawaharlal Nehru Univ Teachers on satyagrah protest

New Delhi, March 17: The Jawaharlal Nehru University Teachers' Association (JNUTA) on Saturday began its "satyagrah" protest against the administration's removal of seven Chairpersons and a Dean and said they would go on a fast and a three-day strike from Monday if the decision was not reversed.

"The decision to remove seven Chairpersons and Deans for not complying with or refusing to implement the recent attendance system is illegal. The teachers will go for three days strike from Monday and will also begin a hunger strike," said JNUTA Secretary Sudhir Kumar Suthar.

To show solidarity to sacked chairpersons and deans, hundreds of teachers and students held a protest march from Ganga Dhaba to Sabarmati Dhaba via the Chandrabhaga hostel.

The JNUTA announced that they are going to stage a protest outside the administration block on Monday and also warned they will undertake a protest march to Parliament.
