Residents of Delhi University’s Undergraduate Hostel for Girls (UGHG) have approached the Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) after the varsity sent letters to their parents for staging an agitation against water crisis in the hostel.
Terming the move as “witch-hunt” by the administration, the students on Monday met officials at the Commission and submitted a letter to them.
Over 200 students of UGHG had held a protest on April 23 which went on till around 2.30 a.m. Delhi Water Minister and Delhi Jal Board (DJB) Chairman Kapil Mishra had met the protesters around midnight, and water supply was restored on April 25.
A month after the incident happened, parents of some of the students involved in the protest received a letter sent by the hostel administration saying the act was in violation of rules and could have a bad impact on other residents.
In a series of tweets sent out on Monday, Mr. Mishra also objected to the letters.
“This is intolerable. I will raise it with V-C. Students highlighted the failure of DU admin. DU shd be thankful,” he said in a tweet.
