Stir over JNU fee hike continues, students to demonstrate outside UGC building

Though the JNU administration has now decided to hike prices and bring up the rent to Rs 300 and Rs 600, respectively, for double sharing and single rooms, the move has brought the varsity back on the boil, as students believe this is an unjustified hike.
At the heart of the controversy is the new hostel manual approved by the Inter-Hall Administration (IHA) Committee which proposed a fee hike of the hostel room from Rs 10 to Rs 300 for a double sharing room and Rs 600 from Rs 20 for a single-seater.
