Teachers from Hindu College, Rajdhani College, Daulat Ram College and Shyam Lal Evening College have been sitting on DUTA’s Indefinite Relay Hunger Strike which is running for its thirteenth day. Duta Vice-President Harish Khanna and DUTA Executive member Surendra Kumar are also sitting on Hunger Strike alongside the teacher-volunteers. The DUTA has been able to keep the Hunger Strike going despite the festive season and holidays punctuating the academic session. This has been made possible because Staff Associations and College teachers have been relentlessly coming forward to keep the Hunger Strike on. The DUTA has meanwhile announced a mega-Joint Protest of students, teachers and karamcharis to raise a united voice of dissent against the Government’s interference in policy decisions, its attack on the University’s autonomy, as well as the V-C’s adamant and arrogant move to dismantle the University’s democratic structures, scuttle the teachers’ movement and push the entire University fraternity into utter despondency through his ham-handed pseudo-reforms in academic structure, content and examinations. This Protest will be convened at a large gathering of teachers, students and non-teaching staff from all colleges and departments of the University on Friday, 26th October at 2.30 pm. Representatives from teachers’ associations of all Delhi-based Central Universities, the FEDCUTA and AMUTA (Aligarh) are also expected to join the protest.
S.D. Siddiqui, Secretary Amar Deo Sharma, President
