JNU bans protests on campus, students may face expulsion

New Delhi: Putting up wall posters and staging dharnas within 100 metres of the academic buildings at Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) can lead to a fine of up to Rs 20,000 or expulsion, according to a new manual.

Earlier, protests within 100 metres of the administrative blocks, which house the offices of the Vice-Chancellor, registrar, and proctors, among others, was prohibited as per a High Court order.

However, according to the revised Chief Proctor Office (CPO) manual, the university has now barred protests within 100 metres of academic buildings.
