DU opens guidance cell for students
Tribune News Service

New Delhi, April 17
To facilitate and guide the new students seeking admission in different graduate and postgraduate courses in Delhi University, the student welfare section of the university has opened a separate cell, ‘Open Day’, that would work during admission time.

The main objective in opening it is to give them course guidance and tell them about the fee structure, hostel accommodation guidance and other counseling.

This cell was also opened last year and it became very popular in the university. Keeping in view its popularity, a number of students have also come forward as volunteers in the program.

The university officials said the programme was started last year and even the parents who accompanied their children during the admission time got impressed with the facility the university was providing.

The officials also informed that they had prepared an audio-visual presentation with the help of some senior students that would demonstrate the information regarding fee structure, courses and other facilities. This facility would be available not only in North Campus but also at different points in South Campus. The programme would start from next month at different points in the university.

Special court settles 66 petty offences
Tribune News Service

New Delhi, April 17
A special court held in the high-security Tihar Jail settled 66 cases of petty offences today. As many as 46 cases were disposed of while the remaining 20 cases have been referred back to their regular courts. Mr Alok Aggarwal and Bharat Parashar, both Metropolitan Magistrates, presided over the court.

The finger print bureau of the Delhi Police first screened these cases so as to eliminate the habitual offenders.

It was the 45th court in succession and 2,896 cases of petty offences have been settled by the Special Courts organised at the Tihar Jail.

Such special courts have proved useful for the prisoners lodged in the Tihar Jail, which allows them to get their case settle at an early date rather than wait for years for the regular courts to take up their cases.

Experts believe that such courts would facilitate reforms in the functioning of the criminal justice system in India.
