With just a week to go before Delhi University reopens and physical classes begin, colleges said students have reached out to them expressing apprehensions about returning to campus even as several of them also seem excited for the same.
One of the main concerns is from first-year students, for whom exams begin in the second week of March. There is no clarity yet if these will now be held offline with campus reopening or in the online mode as was originally planned. Dean Examinations D S Rawat said a meeting will be held by officials Friday to take a decision: “We will hold a meeting tomorrow evening; until then I cannot comment on what should happen.”
The deputy commissioner (DC) of Gurgaon, Nishant Kumar Yadav, who formally took charge Thursday, said disciplinary action would be taken against revenue department officials, including tehsildars, naib tehsildars, patwaris and registry clerks, for alleged violation of rules in the registration of land deals in the district.
“All the DCs in their respective districts were asked to conduct independent enquiries to find out how many registries had been done without getting the requisite NOCs [no objection certificates] and clearances from the department of town and country planning and in violation of laws and to enquire the officers responsible for lapses,” said the DC.
