DUTA to hold hunger strike
on Oct 10
New Delhi, September 22 In its resolution, the DUTA has criticised the Vice-Chancellor (VC) for commenting that the DUTA is an "illegal welfare body made by teachers". It also condemned the university administration for calling the activities of the DUTA "farcical." "After the strike, the DUTA shall consider other options to intensify its struggle, including joint action programmes with DU and Colleges' Karmchari Union and DU Students' Union. If the university authorities fail to concede the demands raised by the DUTA within a definite time frame after the commencement of the strike, the DUTA will move towards more action programmes after due consultation with staff associations and department councils," said a DUTA resolution. "There is now an exercise of pressurising the principals of various colleges not to allow the DUTA to hold its own general body meetings on their premises, of which the withdrawals of already granted permission for the same by Shri Ram College of Commerce and Ramjas College are glaring instances. It is another matter that in the case of the latter, permission was granted later, as an afterthought, when the VC came to know that the DUTA had been granted an appointment with the President in his capacity as the visitor of the university yesterday," said an executive member of the DUTA. The general body of
the DUTA expressed concern over plans to introduce machinations of bio-metric and any other system of attendance for teachers. The general body noted that the matter was debated at length on December 23, 2009, in the executive council of the university, which had rejected the proposal for daily marking of attendance by teachers and instead authorised the VC to set up a sub-committee and arrive at a decision in the light of the DUTA document of 2000, on academic reforms and curbing absenteeism. "The general body therefore urges the VC to set up the sub-committee to expedite the matter in
the best interests of teaching-learning," the resolution said. |

Cong councillor’s husband accused of thrashing biker
New Delhi, September 22 It is alleged that Subhash Yadav, husband of Congress councillor from Tagore Garden Sunita Yadav, bashed up a young man named Nijhar Singh. Nijhar was driving his motorcycle when he found Subhash, a resident of Tilak Nagar, with some followers blocking his way. As Nijhar blew the horn of his motorcycle several times, Subhash got irritated and shouted at him saying, "Don't you know who I am?" Nijhar alleges that Subhash, along with his son and nephew, dragged him from his motorcycle into a room and beat him. Naresh later received treatment for minor injuries at Babu Jagjivan Ram Memorial Hospital. Though local residents were witness to this incident, Subhash claims that he is innocent.
