Ottawa: Indian students in Canada's Prince Edward Island are currently engaged in a hunger strike to protest recent amendments to the province's immigration regulations.
The adjustments, aimed at reducing immigration numbers, have implications for Indian students and workers residing there, necessitating their departure from Canada.
The students have voiced their dissent through demonstrations against the policy changes.
The hunger strike, initiated by Indian students, involves abstaining from solid food consumption and relying solely on liquids. They have declared their intention to escalate the protest to a complete and indefinite fast.
Medical professionals have expressed concerns over the potential health risks associated with prolonged fasting.
According to the protesters, approximately 50 individuals of Indian origin have already left the country in response to the revised regulations.
