Stir threat over Maharshi Dayanand University ‘vacate hostels’ order

ROHTAK: Opposing the decision of Maharshi Dayanand University administration to ask students to vacate hostels, the Indian National Student Organisation (INSO) has threatened to launch a stir.
INSO state president Pardeep Deswal said the university administration has ordered all its students to vacate their hostels by June 25.
Deswal said the students were at home during lockdown, but their belongings were safe in their hostel rooms.
He threatened that if varsity tried to vacate the hostel rooms forcefully, then they would oppose the vice-chancellor for enforcing such a rule against the spirit of an educational institution.
He said INSO would not tolerate the forceful eviction of the hostel rooms during the crisis time, especially when they have cooperated in the best possible manner with the varsity norms. “The hostellers have paid their dues well in advance and till it is matured, not even a single room would be vacated,” the INSO added.
According to the notice served by office of the chief warden date June 8, MDU, it is said that all the wardens ensure that all the hostel residents except the final semester students (UG/PG/MPhil/PhD) vacate their hostel rooms latest by June 25.
MDU registrar Gulshan Taneja said students who were yet to take their exams and wanted to stay in hostels for completion of their academic year will be permitted to stay. No inconvenience would be caused to students, Taneja added.
