Jamia students vacate hostels, locals open their homes

NEW DELHI: Monday morning at Jamia Millia Islamia saw terrified students leaving the campus with their luggage even though their exams were yet to end.

“My exams were going to end on December 18 and I had booked my tickets after December 20 but now we had to vacate the hostel. We spent last night outside till a friend’s family let me stay at their house at Zakir Nagar. It’s a crisis…it is not easy to get confirmed tickets right now but I will have to find a way to reach home,” Mudasir Nazar, a student of JMI and resident of Kishanganj in Bihar, told this newspaper.
