"The ministry (representatives) will come back on Thursday to further discuss on this issue. The government has given no assurance and neither have the students done so. The talks are still on. The strike is still on," FTII Students' Association president Harishankar Nachimuthu told the media after the meeting.
"There is no difference (progress) between (since) the last meeting and today's meeting," he said, adding the ministry officials "heard out the concerns in more detail". He also hoped that a "decision can be arrived at on Thursday".
