Protesters continue sit-in, Congress seeks solution
Protesters say they earned their positions fairly and are being punished for no fault of their own. Some had even started working before being removed after the cancelations.
While police have warned of legal action if crowds don't disperse, protesters insist they'll keep up their sit-in until the orders are rolled back.
Meanwhile, Congress media in-charge Rakesh Sinha says they're working on a solution and hope to resolve things soon.
