Panjab University Elections Marked by Campaign Sticker Violations and Public Sign Defacement
Ahead of the Panjab University student council elections, campaign activities have violated established guidelines, with widespread use of banned printed stickers and posters across campus and public spaces. Despite rules prohibiting defacement, stickers from multiple student parties appear on university walls, canteens, and crucial road safety signs in nearby sectors, raising concerns about safety and legal violations. Authorities have noted the lack of formal complaints and limited enforcement, while various student groups continue active campaigning through these means.
