JNU Fee Hike: Barricades set up at Sarojini Nagar to stop students from protesting

The Delhi police have set up barricades at Sarojini Nagar depot to stop students from JNU who are marching to Rashtrapati Bhawan over the Fee hike issue.

As per a media report, all of the cops asked not to carry lathis after allegations were made last time that lathis were used.

The security outside Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) was tightened on Monday ahead of a planned students’ march to Rashtrapati Bhavan to protest against the hostel fee hike. According to reports, students from the university circulated photos and claimed that police closed all the gates of JNU.

The traffic police department also confirmed that all the roads leading to JNU have been closed for incoming traffic. Delhi Traffic Police also told a news agency that Baba Ganganath Marg is closed for vehicular traffic due to students’ protest and the long march.
