Hindu College Staff Protest Over Alleged Administrative Irregularities and Seek DU Intervention
The Hindu College Staff Association (HCSA) has been protesting since mid-September, demanding the removal of Principal Anju Srivastava and the governing body chairman over alleged irregularities in admissions, financial management, and governance. The HCSA accuses the administration of bypassing the Staff Council, violating university rules on supernumerary seats, and lacking transparency in financial and administrative decisions. They seek an independent inquiry, withdrawal of show-cause notices against protesting faculty, and a temporary takeover by Delhi University. The principal denies these allegations, citing university acknowledgment of admission errors and adherence to procedures.
