Teachers’ body of Delhi University has given call for total strike in the university if the present Vice –Chancellor Prof. Deepak Pental continues his office beyond 31st August.

The Executive Committee of the DUTA unanimously decided to make university non-functional if the Vice Chancellor continues in office after his term is over. The teachers’ body alleged that Prof. Pental has violated all the expressed provisions of the University Act, Statutes and Ordinances in trying to implement semester system and semester based science courses.

A detailed charge-sheet has also been submitted to to the Visitor against the irregularities committed by the VC and demanded an enquiry. “It is unthinkable that the VC who brought international disrepute to the University of Delhi and the country by selling radio-active gamma irradiator as scrap is thinking of being rewarded with extension of his term”, DUTA says. Though, the electoral process of Delhi University Students Union will remained unaffected as no protest has been planned during the period.

As per plan the teachers will show black ribbon under ‘Go-VC-Go’ protest on 1st September while on 7th, 8th and 9th DUTA has given call for total strike.
