JNU has issued an advisory asking students and stakeholders to avoid gatherings at Jantar Mantar, warning of legal and disciplinary action. The move follows a similar advisory by Delhi University amid concerns over student safety, protests, and social media content.
Delhi: After Delhi University (DU) issued an advisory asking students and faculty to stay away from "any unlawful assemblies or demonstrations" at Jantar Mantar, Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) has now released a similar statement urging members of its academic community to avoid protest sites and act responsibly.
JNU's advisory, shared on social media platform X, stated that, "All stakeholders of JNU's epistemic community are advised to act responsibly and prioritise their personal safety. In accordance with the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India’s directions on public demonstrations, you are requested to refrain from participating in or visiting gatherings at or around Jantar Mantar, New Delhi."
The university further advised students to exercise responsibility on social media, adding that, "Violations may invite legal consequences under applicable laws as well as disciplinary action under the university's code of conduct. You are also encouraged to uphold the values of academic responsibility and responsible citizenship."
