Delhi University Warns Of Strict Action For Defacing Campus Walls

Officials said despite having "democracy walls" and dedicated spaces provided by the administration to paste campaign material, posters especially 'vote for' ones dot the campus.

Putting up posters on the walls inside the Delhi University campus may now prove costly as the varsity has decided to take strict action against those defacing them, including charging compensation or asking the perpetrators to paint the walls themselves, officials said.

Officials said despite having "democracy walls" - dedicated spaces provided by the administration to paste campaign material - in the university, posters especially 'vote for' ones dot the campus.

The situation worsens during the Delhi University Student Union elections when parties try to cover the entire wall with posters, they said.

In a notification issued on Thursday, DU Proctor Rajni Abbi highlighted that "certain elements" are "defacing" the walls of the campus.
