The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) has declared a strike following an incident at Jadavpur University where two students were injured, one critically, as a car in the Education Minister’s convoy brushed against them on campus. The incident has sparked outrage among students, leading to demands for justice and stricter safety measures. The injured students were rushed to a nearby hospital for medical treatment. The SFI has called for a thorough investigation into the matter and for accountability to be fixed for the safety lapse. The incident has once again raised concerns about the safety of students on university premises and the need for better security protocols. The strike announced by the SFI is aimed at highlighting the issue and pressuring authorities to take necessary actions to prevent such incidents in the future. The Education Minister’s office has expressed regret over the incident and assured that necessary steps will be taken to avoid similar occurrences. The incident has also reignited discussions about the need for improved safety measures on university campuses, especially during high-profile visits. The students’ safety and well-being must be a top priority for educational institutions, and incidents like this serve as a reminder of the importance of ensuring a secure environment for all members of the campus community. The SFI strike is expected to draw attention to these critical issues and push for concrete solutions to prevent such incidents from happening again.
