 SHILLONG: If going through a tough one month was not enough, the students of CMJ University now faced discrimination in their hostels, cyber cafes and other places.

Outstation students have complained that they were asked to evacuate the hostel on grounds that they are no longer students of the university.

Some students were also chased out from the cyber cafes as their university IDs were discarded on the same grounds.

Reacting to this, the Khasi Students’ Union (KSU) has issued a warning to owners of such hostels and cyber cafes asking them to restrain from such practices against the students of CMJ who are not at fault.

“Talks are still going on with the State Government (to resolve the matter) and the matter is still pending and so the students should not be treated in this manner as this is no fault of theirs but of the university,” KSU education secretary Donald Thabah said, adding that if similar complaints are received from the students, actions will be taken against the erring hostel and cyber cafe owners.

Thabah also informed that the KSU has sought an appointment with Governor RS Mooshahary to deliberate on the plight of the students.

“The Governor has agreed to meet us most likely on Thursday,” he informed.
