However, on surveying the locations, it is found that a majority of the defaced locations have not been cleaned yet and hence the university has decided to get all the locations cleaned on its own, Singh added.

Voting for the central panel of the DUSU, which includes the posts of president, vice-president, secretary, and joint secretary, was carried out through electronic voting machines (EVMs), while college representatives were elected using ballot papers.
