According to SFI unit president Mohammed Muhsin, demands were made after campaigning in classrooms and seeking responses from students about their needs. Demands included standardizing hostel fees across campus at Rs 320 and filling vacancies by appointing permanent faculty members and lab assistants in various departments.
