CRPF deployed at NIT Srinagar campus after clashes

Security forces have been deployed outside the NIT campus in Srinagar amid tension following clashes among students over the Indian cricket team's loss against West Indies in the T20 World Cup last week. The unrest escalated after hundreds of non-local students at the campus alleged that state police kicked and punched them when they tried to walk out of the institute premises late on Tuesday. The central government has sent a two-member panel to NIT Srinagar to assess the situation on Wednesday morning. Meanwhile, social media is abuzz with NITSrinagar trend.
