The NIT Srinagar campus has been hit by unrest since clashes between students over a cricket match last week.
Fresh protests today rocked the National Institute of Technology or NIT in Srinagar as some outstation students took out a march in the campus to press for their demands including a
call to shift the institute out of Kashmir.
A group of students tried to march towards the main gate but were stopped by the security force personnel on duty inside the campus, officials said.
They said the students wanted to interact with the media personnel camping outside the main gate of the institute at Hazratbal.
The students shouted slogans in favour of their demands but later went back inside the campus, the officials said.
The NIT authorities yesterday allowed the students to skip the minor examinations scheduled to start from April 11 saying they would be given an opportunity to write these exams later.
The students are demanding that the NIT campus be shifted out of Kashmir, action be taken against police officials involved in charging batons last Tuesday and against officials of the NIT, who according to them, are involved in "anti-national" activities.
The state government has ordered a time-bound inquiry into the incidents of violence on April 1 and April 5, triggered by clashes between local and outstation students over India's loss to the West Indies in the World T20 Cup semifinals last week.
"We have instituted an enquiry to go into the incidents at the NIT," Deputy Chief Minister Nirmal Singh said yesterday.
Police have said they have
registered two separate First Information Reports or FIRs over the violence that took place on the campus last Friday and Tuesday.
