‘Limited cars, no animals’: DU lists norms for students’ union election

Delhi University has implemented stricter campaign norms for upcoming student union elections, including limits on vehicles and a ban on the use of animals and heavy machinery. These measures follow court observations regarding property defacement and excessive campaign spending.
Why it matters
The regulations aim to curb the influence of money and power in student politics and protect public property from damage during election cycles.
With the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) election expected in September, the university has tightened campaign norms, capping the number of vehicles per candidate at five and banning the use of animals, tractors and JCBs.
