Delhi University campus cannot be reopened until DDMS allows 100% capacity: Reports
Several students and teachers have been demanding the reopening of campus for some time now. The Delhi University had earlier resumed the laboratory classes for the final year undergraduate and postgraduate students from September 16.
Delhi University cannot be reopened until the time District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) do not give nod for 100 per cent seating capacity, the senior official said. The official further said the decision will be taken in a meeting that will be conducted after 10 days.
“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,” Delhi University Registrar Vikas Gupta said as reported by IndianExpress
He said 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.
