Ganga Dhaba, which opens at 4 PM and feeds hungry students till 3 in the morning at nominal prices, is one of the favourite hotspots of the campus besides being a perfect place for campus debates.
The owner of the eatery was served an eviction notice last week and was asked to vacate the place till today morning. However, the students gathered at the dhaba protesting against the alleged attack by the administration of the culture of the campus.
"Now, it has decided to shutdown the Ganga Dhaba for ever. The administration has sent a 'final letter' to the owner of the Ganga Dhaba by saying that it will shut down the eatery," he added.
JNU Vice Chancellor said the administration does not intend to "close down" the dhaba but all commercial spaces operating on the campus have to adhere to rules and the dhaba owner Bharat Tomar doesn't have a license to function there.
"Tomar is free to apply for the tender and seek a new contract," he added.
The JNU authorities have stiffened the rules on campus after the sedition row in February where few students were booked under the charge for organising an event during which anti-national slogans were allegedly raised.
