A large number of students gathered at Manipuri Department in the afternoon and marched to the Administrative Block.

However, the students locked the room from inside.
Later, Registrar Prof Chandbabu came and talked with the students.
As the two sides could not come to any sort of understanding, the students and the Registrar went to the office of the Dean, Students' Welfare and held another round of talk.
But the MU authority as well as the students refused to divulge anything or make any comment after the meeting.

The notice said that Dr N Sanatomba should submit a written reply to the Registrar by September 28 .
