Early Times Report
JAMMU, Oct 4: The fate of over two thousand non-Kashmiri students admitted to the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Srinagar continues to hang in balance as the authorities have utterly failed to start the academic session due to ongoing unrest in Kashmir valley.
The admission process for the current session was long over due but the classes for the fresh batch of students are yet to begin. Keeping in view the prevailing law and order situation, the college authorities extended the date of reporting in the college campus to October 3. It remains to be seen whether the outstation students would arrive in the campus to start their academic session or would continue to stay away citing security concerns.
Due to uncertain future the majority of outstation students have once again raised the issue of either shifting the NIT campus out of Kashmir or relocating the outstation students to different institutions to save their careers.
According to rough estimates over 2000 students studying in different semesters had moved out of the NIT Srinagar campus after unrest started in the aftermath of killing of Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani on July 8 this year.
Little over 150 students are currently present in the NIT campus.
The institute was scheduled to open to July 27 but the date was extended to October 3.
From time to time the outstation students have been trying to convey to the NIT authorities in Srinagar that their families were not willing to send them to Srinagar due to prevailing law and order situation.
The campus was also in the news earlier this year after a scuffle between local and outstation students took place out on the campus leading to violent clashes between the two groups of students. The non-Kashmiri students had hoisted the national flag on the campus following which other group pounced upon them and the police had beaten them. They had migrated wholesale from Srinagar, saying Kashmir was not a safe place to live. Ever since then, parents of the non-local students are moving heaven and earth to get themselves adjusted in institutions outside Kashmir. |
