Annamalai University on Monday announced the suspension of classes for undergraduate students, except freshers, and the indefinite closure of government medical and dental colleges (erstwhile Rajah Muthiah Institute of Health Sciences) in Chidambaram, until further orders.
All undergraduate students, except the MBBS and BDS freshers (2021-22) batch, were asked to vacate their respective hostels by 4 p.m.
The move came following protests by students seeking a reduction in the fees. The students have appealed to the government to bring the fees on a par with those of government institutions immediately.
