Overview
- The Proctor's Office issued the February 17 order prohibiting public meetings, demonstrations and protests on campus for one month, citing traffic disruption, threats to public peace and human life, and past law-and-order issues.
- Around 10 students from groups including KYS, AIDSO and AISF attempted a North Campus press briefing on February 19 and were removed by security shortly after they began speaking, according to local reporting.
- A separate student statement reported heavy police presence interrupted the event, after which participants marched from the Arts Faculty back gate.
- Student organisations labeled the directive arbitrary, demanded its immediate withdrawal and an apology to students, and urged wider mobilisation.
- Students also flagged a Delhi Police order restricting gatherings of five or more on campus, and no revocation of the university notice has been reported.
