It may be recalled that the LU had banned birthday celebrations after two groups of students clashed at the canteen during one such celebration. The LU has also set the deadline of 8 p.m. for girls living in hostels and 10 p.m. for boys in hostel. Entry and exit of hostellers will not be allowed after deadline. UPSC Aspirants Hold Protest in Delhi’s Old Rajinder Nagar Demanding Extra Attempt at Exams (See Pics).

NSUI unit president Vishal Singh said, “LU should tighten its security instead of not allowing students to celebrate occasions on the campus.” He said that restriction on hostel movement is also uncalled for as most students study in libraries till late at night.
