NSUI members storm NTA HQ and lock its office

The Congress’s student and youth wings took to the streets in the national capital on Thursday over alleged irregularities in the conduct of the NEET-UG and UGC-NET exams, with NSUI members forcefully entering the NTA headquarters and locking its office, and the IYC staging a huge protest at Jantar Mantar.

The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has threatened to lock NTA offices across the country if their demand to ban the NTA is not met.

Police resorted to lathicharge to disperse protesters at Jantar Mantar where the Indian Youth Congress, Left-affiliated All India Students Association (AISA) and Delhi University’s Krantikari Yuva Sangathan continued their indefinite sit-in for the second day on the issue.

At the National Testing Agency (NTA) headquarters at Okhla, Delhi Police has deployed a team of security personnel to prevent recurrence of any such protest.

NSUI members stormed into the testing agency’s headquarters during the protest led by its national president Varun Choudhary.
