Early Times Report
Srinagar, Apr 7: The situation inside the NIT Srinagar campus remained volatile even on Thursday, while the students claimed that Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh who visited Srinagar today didn't meet any of the students and met the NIT Director only.
A group of protesting students while talking to Early Times said, "We came to know that Deputy Chief Minister arrived in Srinagar this afternoon. He met the Director and ordered an enquiry into the matter. The inquiry committee will be headed by the Additional Magistrate."
"It's really unfortunate that Dr Nirmal Singh made a statement without meeting students. He didn't meet any of the students, who were injured after being assaulted by JK policemen. He didn't even meet the students who have been protesting for the past 7-days," students added.
However, Dr Singh while talking to reporters in Srinagar said, "We talked to the Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti yesterday and in the meeting it was decided that an enquiry would be called into the allegation of lathicharge on non local students by the JK police."
Singh said the enquiry committee would be headed by Additional Magistrate Srinagar he would submit his reportwithin 15 days.
The Deputy CM said that government has deployed Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) and Seema Suraksha Bal (SSB) inside the campus to provide security to the non-local students.
He said that on academic security front the NIT Chairman who is on a visit to institute from Delhi has been holding interactions with the students, who would soon come to some conclusion and sort out the matter.
