NEW DELHI: Jawaharlal Nehru University administration's announcement of compulsory attendance for students from the upcoming semester has faced criticism from students and teachers of the university. Members of JNU students' union have called for a boycott of attendance from January 8. They will submit around 2,500 signatures of students opposing the mandatory attendance to the vice-chancellor's office.

JNUSU maintained that "the circular imposing this 'farmaan', claiming it to be a 'decision' of the December 1 academic council meeting is a gross lie. The last AC never took any such decision," read a statement. tnn
