AMU Staff Resigns Amid Student Protests Over Fee Hike and Union Election Delay

In the recent developments at Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), four members of the proctorial staff resigned due to allegations of misbehaviour with protesting students. The university faced demonstrations against the fee hike and delayed students’ union election, leading to these resignations. While the administration took steps to reduce the fee hike and promised to conduct the election, students are still unsatisfied. AMU assures compliance with Lyngdoh Committee guidelines and the timely appointment of an election officer. Student leader Janib Husain emphasizes the urgency of announcing the election date promptly. The protesters accused the proctorial team of misconduct, prompting the resignations.
