Classes resumed today in Hyderabad Central University, two weeks after the suicide of Dalit research scholar Rohith Vemula and subsequent agitation by the varsity students.

"Classes are going on. Administration is also working," a JAC spokesperson Dickens told PTI. "We have set a deadline of ten days. We will continue our agitation in the form of relay hunger strike and organising seminars and rallies peacefully. People from outside also have come to express solidarity to our agitation. (VC) Professor Appa Rao should go. There is no change in that demand," he said.


When contacted, SC/ST Faculty Forum convener Sudhakar Babu said they (teachers) are attending classes. He also said as per the request by in-charge Vice Chancellor M Periasamy, the faculty members would also continue in the administrative position.
