The Information and Broadcasting Ministry will send a three-member team of officers to the FTII on Thursday to assess the ground situation following the midnight crackdown on protesting students by the police.
The three-member team headed by the Director General of Registrar of Newspapers for India (RNI) will submit a report to the Information and Broadcasting Ministry after carefully gauging the situation at the institute.
Academic activity in FTII is at a standstill with the students' adamant on their demand that BJP member and TV actor Gajendra Chauhan should be removed as the institute's chairman.
The Congress Party has backed the students as their protest entered the 70th day on Wednesday.
