LU plans action against students involved in violence

The University of Lucknow is planning largescale disciplinary action against students who were involved in pelting the police with stones and causing damage to varsity property on Friday.

On Sunday, LU scanned all photographs published in different newspapers to take strong action against the trouble-makers.

The photographs are quite clear. The university has served notices to many students and awaiting their reply,” said Nishi Pandey, proctor, LU.

Pandey said students who are visiting the hostel illegally will face action. She said hostel provosts have been asked to give written information, if such students are found in hostels.

After the violence rocked the Lucknow University campus, vice-chancellor SB Nimse wrote a letter to DGP Javeed Ahmad on Saturday, seeking his help to arrest the criminals who are not varsity students and yet move around on the campus and create law and order problems.

The vice-chancellor said, “Most of the violent incidents are a result of free movement of such criminals on the campus. Regular students do not engage in such activities. The police arrests them, but they are released on bail.”
