A group of students from IIT-Madras continued their protest on Thursday over the “unannounced” closure of the ‘Krishna Gate’ on Tuesday night.
The students’ union general secretary and a few representatives met IIT-M director Bhaskar Ramamurthi, who told them that the closure was necessary for security reasons. Students sat in front of the director’s bungalow and later took out a rally. An online campaign initiated by students against the closure found support from over 900 students, said a student.
