Panjab University Student Council Elections Begin Amid Short Campaign and Voter Concerns
Panjab University student council elections are set for August 31, with 39,386 students voting across eight colleges. Campaigning ended after the shortest period in over 15 years, marked by quieter rallies and fewer candidates—76 compared to 110 previously. Voter turnout concerns arise due to the Raksha Bandhan holiday and festival celebrations. Allegations surfaced against ABVP candidate Ankit Bidhan regarding past disciplinary actions, prompting calls for document verification. Despite some campaign code violations, the election proceeds amid subdued campus activity.
