Students from Jammu and Kashmir studying at CT University in Ludhiana have raised serious concerns regarding the lack of food provisions during the holy month of Ramadan. They reported that their requests for meals during the pre-dawn (Sehri) and evening (Iftar) periods were met with threats of expulsion and cancellation of admissions. As frustrations mounted, protests erupted late into the night, prompting the university to dismiss Vice Chancellor Nitin Tandon in response to the unrest.

The situation escalated when students approached the university administration to arrange meals in accordance with Ramadan fasting schedules. Despite paying regular boarding fees, they claimed that there were no adequate food arrangements made for them, particularly during critical times such as Sehri and Iftar. This lack of support raised serious questions about the university’s commitment to providing for its students, especially those observing fasting during this important religious month.

In a video statement shared on social media, the students expressed their dissatisfaction and distress about the treatment they received, highlighting that they were not provided with any meals for Sehri or Iftar. The outcry from the students reflects broader issues concerning the treatment of Kashmiri students in educational institutions outside their home state. As the administration has taken swift action by dismissing the Vice Chancellor, it raises questions about accountability and the need for better policies to support students from diverse backgrounds.
