6th day of JNU students' hunger strike for increased scholarships, hostel operation, and reinstatement; VC cites funding and legal constraints.

6th day of JNU students' hunger strike; health deteriorating. Students demand increased Merit-cum-Means scholarship, operationalization of Barak Hostel, and reinstatement of Gender Sensitisation Committee Against Sexual Harassment. JNU VC Santishree D Pandit states the university cannot meet these demands due to funding crunch and legal limitations as it does not officially recognize the students union.
