Jadavpur University students demand action against assaults, set deadline for VC, warn of intensified protests.
Protests at Jadavpur University continued for the third consecutive day on Wednesday (March 5, 2025), with students demanding action against alleged assaults on their peers and set a 4 p.m. deadline for vice-chancellor (VC) Bhaskar Gupta to address their grievances.
The agitating students warned of intensified protests if Mr. Gupta did not turn up on the campus to meet them within the stipulated time. They claimed that the VC and university authorities had shown no urgency to resolve the crisis.
“Vice-chancellor Bhaskar Gupta has not shown any courtesy or urgency to meet us. We have given a 4 p.m. deadline, after which we will decide the next course of action,” a protesting student from a Left-backed organisation said.
The All India Democratic Students’ Organisation (AIDSO) staged protests, while several ultra-left student groups, including the Democratic Students’ Federation (DSF), called for demonstrations on Wednesday (March 5, 2025).
