Varanasi A day after they began a hungerstrike demanding IIT status for their institute, the students of Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (BHU), called it off, with the authorities assuring them the Centre’s proposal was “not shelved”.

A BHU spokesperson said the students sitting on an indefinite hunger strike called off the stir on Monday afternoon as a university delegation assured them that the process of upgrading was underway and that the Centre had not shelved the proposal. Classes would resume from Tuesday. Vice-Chancellor D P Singh said the university had not been informed in writing about any development in this regard.
