Women residents of the University Hostel for Women (UHW) under Delhi University staged a late-night sit-in protest alleging 'forced evictions' and 'extortion' by the hostel administration.
The protest began around 9:30 pm on Thursday and continued past midnight, with students sitting on the streets of the campus amid ongoing semester examinations and preparation for NEET examinations.
AISA alleged that students had been 'pushed to the brink' over the past week due to administrative actions, including disruption of basic amenities.
The student body further alleged that the Provost was carrying out a 'forced eviction drive' despite students having already paid hostel fees in advance for June and July.
AISA has demanded the immediate resignation of the UHW Provost, restoration of the 24/7 water supply, and an unconditional extension of hostel stay without financial penalties.
