AMU had closed after violence during protest against Citizenship Amendment Act on December 15, with the winter vacation pre-poned.
The vacation was to end on January 5, but university authorities deferred opening of AMU from January 6 because of the ‘prevailing’ condition. Students were up in arms over the delay in reopening the university.
