Srinagar: Two student groups clashed with each other at Srinagar’s National Institute of Technology (NIT), following which non-local students staged a protest on Friday inside the campus.

Official sources said that two non-local and some local students entered into a heated argument over some issue on Thursday night. “The argument escalated and the two groups clashed with each other,” they said.

Following the clashes, the non-local students boycotted classes and staged a protest on Friday inside the campus.
