Pune: FTII students on Sunday called off their relay hunger strike after the information and broadcasting (I&B) ministry agreed to have a dialogue with them on September 29. However, this does not mean their strike would end, they said.

"We are calling off the hunger strike since the government is willing to talk on September 29. But the strike remains until a positive result comes from their end," students' president Harishankar Nachimuthu and core committee member Ranjit Nair confirmed to IANS.
