DU secures campuses for Holi

The Delhi University has stepped up security in colleges for Holi in order to avoid incidents of harassment,particularly with women students.

In a proctoral meeting last week,it was decided that students found indulging in acts of gross indiscipline and causing harassment of any kind will face strict disciplinary action.

Law enforcement agencies have been asked to maintain a constant vigil and to prevent any act of hooliganism. DTC crews have been instructed to take buses to the nearest police station in the event of any hooliganism taking place in a bus or to drive with lights on so that the nearest PCR van can intercept the bus and take action.

In addition,a control room jointly manned by the Delhi Police,DTC and university authorities has been set up at 16,Chhatra Marg on the main campus to deal with any untoward incident. It can be reached on 27667221.

Similarly,the office of the Deputy Dean,Students Welfare will function as the joint control in South Campus on Holi to deal with any untoward incident and can be reached on 24119832.

The university has also banned the playing of Holi during working hours in any educational institution and has made entry to colleges subject to identity cards.
