Complaint boxes, helplines, vigilance squads: Delhi University rolls out anti-ragging measures ahead of new session
With the new academic session set to kick off in a few days, Delhi University has rolled out anti-ragging measures designed to enforce discipline and ensure the safety of thousands of new students. Following a meeting of the university's Proctorial Board on July 28, attended by senior officials from Delhi Police and the varsity's administration, the Registrar's office issued guidelines outlining new steps for 2025-26 to 'strictly enforce rules and regulations…' The measures include old and new strategies: campus surveillance, anonymous complaint mechanisms, parental undertakings, digital helplines, and coordinated vigilance squads. Starting August 1, the university will operate two Joint Control Rooms — one each in the North and South Campuses — until August 8. Further, Anti-Ragging Day will be observed on August 12, followed by Anti-Ragging Week from August 12-18, as per the University Grants Commission's instructions. The university's anti-ragging framework — summarised in a detailed circular — includes multiple reporting channels. Students can call the UGC's 24×7 helpline, email the Proctor, or use the Anti-Ragging and Himmat mobile apps. Local control rooms and the campus police vehicle 'VAMIKA' have also been mobilised. Sealed complaint boxes are being placed in front of principals' offices, especially in undergraduate colleges with hostels, 'for the benefit of potential victims of ragging to enable them to put their complaints/ suggestions to college authorities,' the circular reads. The responsibility of addressing these complaints lies with designated officials in each college. This year's protocol is part of a broader architecture that's been built for years. Institutions have been told to erect banners, billboards and posters 'exhorting students to prevent or not to indulge in ragging,' and to ensure that 'each student carries his/her own identity card'. Entry to the college premises is to be regulated via ID verification by security personnel. 'Any acts of indiscipline, ragging will be dealt with strictly under the University's Statutes (and) Ordinances,' the Registrar said in the latest release, adding that hoardings in English and Hindi have been placed in 'strategic locations' across both campuses. The university has also warned that consequences for ragging may include suspension, expulsion, cancellation of degree, cancellation of admission, and debarment from examinations. College heads are required to submit weekly anti-ragging compliance reports for the first three months of the session, and monthly thereafter. All students and hostel residents must also now submit a parent/guardian-signed anti-ragging undertaking at the time of admission. In 2021, too, DU had issued similar guidelines and instructions to appoint a Disciplinary Resource Person (DRP) in every college, hostel, and department — tasked with liaising with the Proctor's office. The 2021 guidelines also encouraged a more empathetic approach: colleges were advised to assign new students a personal consultant or mentor, helping them emotionally adjust to their new environment. The guidelines emphasised that 'specific care should be taken to avoid harassment of any student based on caste, sex, religion,' and that in such cases, 'preventive actions are more important than punitive actions'.

Woman kills brother after he tests HIV positive
Chitradurga (Karnataka), Jul 28 (PTI) A 23-year-old man was strangled to death allegedly by his sister and brother-in-law to 'protect family's honour" after she discovered that he was HIV positive, police said on Monday. The victim, who hailed from a village in Holalkere taluk of this district, met with an accident recently. He was taken to a hospital and during a blood test, the doctors discovered that he was HIV positive, they said. The woman has been arrested, police said, adding efforts are being taken to nab her husband, who is still at large. During interrogation, the woman told police that on July 25, she strangled her brother to death using her veil with the help of her husband after she learnt that he was HIV positive, a senior police officer said. She feared that if someone got to know that her brother was HIV positive, her family would be shamed and may be boycotted by relatives and villagers. It also worried her that the infection could potentially infect their parents as well, who already suffered from BP and sugar-related health issues, he said. The woman further claimed that her brother was also under heavy debt, he added. According to police, when the victim was being treated at a private hospital in Davangere for accident related complications and during routine blood tests before the surgery, the doctors discovered that he was HIV positive and informed his sister. The hospital authorities then advised them to get him treated at another hospital. Later, on the pretext of getting her brother treated at a hospital in Bengaluru, she, along with her husband, took him with them. She allegedly strangled her brother to death with the help of her husband and returned with his body, claiming that he died on the way to Bengaluru, the police officer said. However, noticing suspicious marks around his neck during the cremation, the villagers alerted his family and she confessed her crime to her father, he said. Following this, her father lodged a complaint at Holalkere police station and a case of murder was registered, police said.

Nimisha Priya's Death Sentence Overturned, Says ‘Grand Mufti Of India' Musliyar's Office
Last Updated: Nimisha Priya's death sentence has been overturned, as confirmed by Indian Grand Mufti Kanthapuram AP Abubakar Musliyar's office. In a major development in the Nimisha Priya case, her death sentence has now been completely overturned, according to a statement from the office of Indian Grand Mufti Kanthapuram AP Abubakar Musliyar. However, the office added that it has yet to receive official written communication from Yemeni authorities. The decision was taken during a high-level meeting in Sanaa, Yemen, where senior Yemeni scholars — appointed by Sheikh Umar Hafeel Thangal at the request of the Indian Grand Mufti — mediated with the rulers of Northern Yemen and international diplomats. The meeting concluded with the complete cancellation of the death sentence, which had earlier been scheduled for execution on July 16 but was temporarily suspended. According to Musliyar's office, some key decisions regarding the case have been made, though further deliberations are expected. Remaining matters — including a resolution with the family of the murdered Yemeni national, Talal — will be finalised through continued discussions. view comments First Published: July 28, 2025, 23:15 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
