Jamia Girls' Hostel Renewal Policy Mandates Parent Interviews, Sparking Allegations of Gender Discrimination

Jamia Millia Islamia girls' hostel students oppose a new renewal policy requiring mandatory parent interviews. They allege gender discrimination since boys' hostels lack similar requirements. Students claim the policy, issued during exams, is arbitrary and discourages dissent. They also report poor facilities, contaminated food, and security lapses. The administration has not publicly responded.
