thebalanced.newsDyal Singh Evening College Staff Protest Proposed Renaming Amid Meeting Delays
Staff members of Delhi University's Dyal Singh Evening College have intensified protests demanding an urgent staff council meeting to discuss the proposed renaming of the college after Sikh warrior Banda Singh Bahadur. The college principal sought Vice Chancellor Yogesh Singh's permission to convene the meeting, which staff view as a delaying tactic. The Delhi University Executive Council's upcoming meeting does not include the renaming proposal on its agenda, seen by protesters as a temporary victory. Protests and calls for withdrawal of the renaming proposal continue.
