The classes have begun and some students are on the way as they went home. I appeal to parents to advise their pupils to register in the winter semester else it will lead to loss of one academic year which will not be good for our students," Kumar had told to .
This comes after a violent incident at the JNU campus on January 5, where a masked mob attacked the teachers and students of the university.
