Precautionary deployment of security personnel was done near North-South blocks, as JNU students marched towards Rashtrapati Bhawan. Special CP Law and Order RS Krishnia and two DCPs are taking stock of security measures at North and South Block.

Slogans against Delhi Police and the ruling dispensation were shouted by the demonstrators.

The slogans of "Fasivadi ye sarkar, nahi chalegi abki bar", "Chhatra ekta zindabad", "jab tak zulmi zulm kargea satta ke galiyaron se, chappa-cappa gunz uthega inquilab ke naaron se" were heard during the demonstration.

Earlier, while addressing the protests, JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh hit out at Vice Chancellor saying he was incapable of having any dialogue.
