Delhi University Goes On High Alert, Deploys 500+ CCTVs & Enforces Strict Rules Ahead Of DUSU Elections

New Delhi: Delhi University has increased security ahead of the DUSU elections, with over 500 CCTV cameras installed across North and South campuses to monitor key routes. DU Chief Proctor Manoj Singh announced that the elections will be held on September 18, with counting to take place on September 19. The administration has implemented recommendations from the Lyngdoh Committee, warning candidates and student groups that violations could lead to cancellation of nominations, and in serious cases, the election itself.

The university is coordinating with Delhi Police to monitor campus vehicles, banning printed pamphlets and posters for campaigning, and allowing only handwritten posters at designated Wall of Democracy spaces. Only five students will be permitted to campaign at a time, and in women's colleges, only female students will be allowed to campaign.

Police have warned candidates against bringing outsiders to the campus, and vehicles found violating election rules could result in immediate cancellation of nominations. Police will monitor improper parking, traffic violations, and the Cyber Crime Cell will keep an eye on social media activity related to the elections. The university has also taken action against an incident involving a teacher during the election period, suspending the student concerned, forming a committee, and filing an FIR. The administration aims to ensure a peaceful election, avoiding punishment of any student.
