Tamil Nadu State Platform for Common School System has issued a memorandum seeking Chief Minister MK Stalin’s intervention to put a stop to the merger.
The officials said, now, they are in the process of identifying the needs of the schools and that no work has started in this regard, except in Vellore district.
Students allege that little has been done by the institute administration to arrest "continuing suicides" on the campus. In 2019, IIT-M witnessed massive protests after another student died by suicide.
