Summary:
New Delhi: Twelve students of the Indian Institute Of Mass Communication (IIMC) claimed that they received a show-cause notice and were placed under suspension for organizing a public talk on affordable education. The notice was sent to the students on Monday. It further read that copy of the order is being endorsed to the parents of the students concerned as well. The protest against hostel fee hike at the Jawaharlal Nehru University had spread to the neighbouring IIMC in December last year, where students protested against the "unaffordable fee structure". Some IIMC students had staged a strike in the campus against the high tuition fee and "unruly" hostel and mess charges..
