DU reopening update

Delhi University officials will take a decision on reopening the university campus after 10 days. The officials will hold a meeting regarding the reopening of university. Vikas Gupta, Delhi University Registrar on Tuesday told PTI that till the time District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) gives clear guidelines on 100 per cent seating capacity, they cannot take a decision on complete reopening. "How can we reopen until and unless the DDMA allows 100 per cent seating capacity. Sixty per cent of students of the university are from outside Delhi. We can't ask them to come here, stay in a hostel and take online classes since only 50 per cent seating capacity is allowed," DU registrar told PTI.
