Hyderabad: The University of Hyderabad (UoH) students’ union ended its sit-in protest on the campus after the university administration revoked the suspension on five students.
However, the university’s executive council retained a fine of Rs.10,000 levied on these five students while reducing the fine from Rs.10,000 to Rs.5,000 on another group of five students.
The university had suspended five students and imposed the fine on the students in connection with a protest held by students on May 18 at VC’s residence over conduct of Sukoon, an annual cultural festival. The students union said the university administration revoked the suspension after a meeting held with them on Saturday.
Appreciating the university’s decision to revoke suspension, the students union said a total of Rs.75,000 fine levied on students was an outrageous amount to demand from students who do not have a source of earning. The students union condemned the decision to impose fines and rejected such punitive attacks on students who protested for their rights.
