Security arrangements have been stepped up across the Delhi University campus ahead of the student union elections, with more than 2,000 police personnel and paramilitary forces to be deployed during campaigning, polling and counting, a senior police officer said on Wednesday.
The final day of campaigning is scheduled for Wednesday, while polling will be held on Friday and the results for the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) election will be declared on Saturday.
The officer said security would be heightened around all colleges and other important locations of the university to ensure peaceful conduct of the elections and maintain law and order.
Adequate police personnel will be deployed at strategic locations around the colleges, while foot patrols, motorcycle teams and PCR vans will maintain a visible presence around the campus, the officer said.
The deployment will focus on preventing clashes, unauthorised gatherings and any untoward incident during the election process, he said.
