A LOCAL COURT IN HISAR REJECTS BAIL PLEA OF ASST PROF RADHE SHYAM, WHO WAS ARRESTED FOR 'RESORTING TO LATHI-CHARGE' ON THE PROTESTERS
ROHTAK: Students of Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural University (CCSHAU), Hisar, on Friday approached the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), alleging that university authorities cut off water supply on Thursday and denied them access to food.
They further claimed that the administration has been calling the parents of protesting students, urging them to take their wards home if they want a "good future".
"Even police officials have visited the homes of several students, pressuring their parents to intervene and call them back. They were told their children may not be allowed to complete their degrees if they continue protesting. While hostel services have traditionally remained open for MSc and PhD scholars, this time the authorities have shut both the mess and the library," the students said.
