Motilal Nehru College Faculty Begin Indefinite Strike Over Alleged Assault During DUSU Polls
Faculty members of Motilal Nehru College (Evening) have initiated an indefinite strike following an alleged assault on teachers during campaigning for the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) 2026 elections. The strike began on September 20 and will continue until their concerns, including alleged hooliganism and property damage, are addressed. Representatives from the Delhi University Teachers' Association and other colleges are expected to join in solidarity. The college administration filed a police complaint after the September 16 incident, but faculty say no action has been taken yet.
