<p>Around 100 postgraduate students of the National Institute of Unani Medicine (NIUM), Magadi Road are on an agitation since Wednesday demanding revoking of suspension of a student.<br /><br /></p>.<p>The students, who are also resident doctors, allege that the management has taken up an issue that took place six months ago involving a quarrel between a librarian and the student. “The matter was resolved between the parties without the need for any intervention from the authorities,” said a student of the Institute.<br /><br />Authorities, however, claim that the matter was not taken seriously as exams were on. Thereafter, a committee was constituted to look into the matter and a ‘symbolic’ suspension of the student was suggested. <br /><br />“The symbolic suspension involved the student not attending classes for about six days.
