Protests Against NEET Continues in Chennai

Chennai: Protests against NEET continued on Friday, with hundreds of students participating demanding cancellation of the national-level screening test and resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.

The 24-hour sit-in in Balan Illam, which started on a small scale, gained momentum and led to the participation of more than 500 people, including movie stars.

According to a source from the All India Students’ Federation, today’s protest has entered the fifth consecutive day at the CPI state headquarters.

Earlier, SFI and DYFI members and activists staged a protest at Rajarathinam Stadium, CPI state headquarters in T Nagar and Royapettah. They even made a futile attempt to walk to Lok Bhavan in Guindy but were stopped by the police.
