Students at NIT Silchar have entered the fifth day of their hunger strike, which was initiated to address their grievances following the tragic death of a third-year electrical engineering student, Kok Buker, who was found dead in his hostel room on September 15. The students have raised various demands during their protest, with a primary focus on the removal of Dean (Academics) Dr. B K Roy, whom they accuse of harassing several students and holding responsibility for Buker's death.
