Student unions hold protest against new UG programme

Delhi University Students' Union and Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad today burnt effigies of DU Vice Chancellor Dinesh Singh protesting against the four-year undergraduate programme and demanding its immediate roll back.
Shouting slogans against Singh, the students took out a march passing through several colleges in the North Campus including Hindu, Hansraj, Ramjas and Law Faculty and later burnt a VC's effigy.
Similar protests were also held at the South Campus of the university.
"It is shameful that the VC had has turned the university into a cantonment with police all around the campus.
"The VC is not accepting the genuine demands of students but is instead using the police to suppress the student movement. If this attitude continues, students will further intensify this movement against autocracy, dictatorship and anti-democratic moves," ABVP's Delhi State Secretary Saket Bahuguna said.
