AISA demands transport facilities for DU students

April 01, 2015 12:00 am | Updated 05:35 am IST - NEW DELHI:

The All-India Students’ Association (AISA) on Tuesday held a demonstration in front of the Delhi Secretariat demanding that the government make good on its promises to provide better transport facilities for Delhi University students.

A delegation also met Parliamentary Secretary (Transport) Sanjeev Jha. This is the third time the students have met a representative of the Transport Ministry over the same issue. “Last time when an AISA delegation met a Minister on February 28, he requested us to undertake a comprehensive audit of transport-related issues of DU students. Since then, a month-long audit was conducted by the AISA in more than 30 of Delhi University, in which more than 13,000 students gave their feedback,” said Sunny Kumar of the AISA.

Among other things, the students have been demanding metro feeder services connecting all colleges to the nearest metro stations, bus-pass counters in all colleges and special buses for girls from all campuses and evening colleges.
