AISA activists' hunger strike in Delhi
New Delhi: People stand near banners of All India Students' Association (AISA) activists, from left, Aameen, Neha and Manish, who have completed 20 days of their indefinite hunger strike to protest alleged irregularities in competitive examinations, at the Jantar Mantar, in New Delhi, late Friday, July 17, 2026. According to AISA, Neha's blood sugar level dropped to a critical 49 mg/dL, and doctors advised her to end the fast and be admitted to hospital before her hypoglycaemia worsens. Aameen has developed very high uric acid levels, lost nearly 14 per cent of his body weight and faces the risk of hypovolemic shock due to dehydration, it said. Manish has similarly lost over 10 kg and has been on the verge of losing consciousness, requiring constant support even for basic activities, AISA said.
