Regular classes at Maharaja’s College, Ernakulam will resume on Wednesday (January 24) after the autonomous institution was shut down indefinitely on January 19 following clashes between activists of various student organisations.
The police presence on the campus, which was stepped up after the stabbing of Students’ Federation of India (SFI) unit secretary Abdul Nasar P.A. allegedly by activists of the Fraternity Movement and the Kerala Students’ Union, will continue as part of the efforts to avoid further tensions.
A meeting of the representatives of various student organisations convened by college authorities on Tuesday decided to step up measures required to ensure a peaceful atmosphere on the campus. The student representatives agreed to the decision taken by the governing body and the parent-teacher association (PTA) on Monday not to permit students and outsiders to stay on the campus after 6 p.m.
