Delhi University bans protests and processions on campus for a month: Here’s why
- The university announced a one-month ban on campus protests, demonstrations, public meetings and processions, Proctor Manoj Kumar Singh said, citing recent clashes.
- The University Grants Commission notified the 2026 regulations on January 13, prompting protests from some upper-caste students who feared discrimination and three writ petitions challenged Section 3.
- On Friday, AISA alleged that YouTuber Ruchi Tiwari used casteist slurs, and police registered two FIRs after protests escalated and organisers failed to control demonstrations.
- The new rules require institutes to set up special committees, helplines and monitoring teams to address complaints, and non-compliant institutes risk losing scheme participation, degree programme approval and central grants under the University Grants Commission's 2026 equity rules.
- On January 29, the Supreme Court stayed the operation of the 2026 regulations, describing them as prima facie vague and asked the Union government to redraft the rules.
