Tension that had erupted on Friday after some students of DAV (PG) College had been allegedly baton- charged by the PAC jawans deployed there has subsided after one PAC platoon was transferred. Meanwhile, the student union election approaching, the college campus has started feeling the election heat with the rival student groups preparing themselves for the annual battle for control.
Dalanwala police station in-charge Yashpal Singh Bisht said that in view of the ensuing student union election in the college, a police chowki comprising one sub-inspector, four constables and one platoon PAC has been set up. In addition, Cheetah Police are making rounds of the college campus to maintain law and order. He said that no one would be allowed to take law in their hands in the college areas and other parts of the city. With the cooperation of all the stake holders, the election in the college will be conducted peacefully, he added.
The college’s chief election officer DK Tyagi said that the students’ union election would be held in the last week of August and the dates for nomination of candidates, polling and counting would be declared in consultation with all the stakeholders, including the college principal, administrative officers and leaders of various students groups.
