• DEMAND SHUT DOWN OF NTA

The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has threatened to lock NTA offices across the country if their demand to ban the NTA is not met. Police resorted to lathicharge to disperse protesters at Jantar Mantar where the Indian Youth Congress, Left-affiliated All India Students Association (AISA) and Delhi University’s Krantikari Yuva Sangathan continued their indefinite sit-in for the second day on the issue.

At the National Testing Agency (NTA) headquarters at Okhla, Delhi Police has deployed a team of security personnel to prevent recurrence of any such protest.
