Impact of strictness of court
At the same time, the strictness of Delhi High Court on DUSU elections has been clearly seen in the North Campus of Delhi University. The case is during the DUSU election 2024 last year, when the Delhi High Court reprimanded the student organizations for the dirt from posters, pamphlets and walls on the campus.
The court had clearly stated that action should be taken against those who dirty the campus and pollution from publicity materials should be stopped. The result of the same rebuke is that every year in the electoral atmosphere, the roads, walls and sails and promotional materials of the campus were read every year, this time the entire North Campus campus has been seen very clean.
Main contest between ABVP-NSUI
A total of 20 candidates are trying their luck for the four important posts of Dusu- President, Vice President, Secretary and Joint Secretary. Apart from Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), National Students Union of India (NSUI), AISA, SFI and some other student organizations are also in the fray in this election.
