In an appreciable gesture, the members of the students union of the DAV College here removed the posters from the walls of the college. The students were led by the president of the union, Rakesh Singh Negi and general secretary, Sachin Thapliyal. The students formed several groups and engaged in the drive to remove banners and posters.
The president of college, Rakesh Negi said that the main entrance of the college was so much covered with posters and banners that even the name of the college was covered under them. “It is unfortunate that the college building is totally covered with posters. The student union undertook a drive to remove them and we have requested the College Principal to ensure that the main gate and the walls are painted,’’ he said.
The students of the economics section of the college participated in the drive enthusiastically. The students were of the view that such drives should be regularly undertaken so that the college appears neat and tidy. They said that a notice board should be placed near the main gate which should mention a penalty for soiling the college walls. The students also took a pledge to keep the college premises clean and resolved that they would prevent those who would try to put banners and posters on the college entrance.
Sanjay Tomar, Suraj Kohli, atul Semwal, Kapil Chaudhary, Shashank, Suraj Rawat, Manjeet, Rahul and many others participated in the poster remobval drive.
