Colleges responsible for security arrangements at campus events, says DU

THE Delhi University proctor's office on Wednesday issued a comprehensive advisory stating that colleges and hostels are solely responsible for the management and security at all campus events, including annual fests and hostel nights.

The circular makes it clear that while the Delhi Police will maintain overall law and order, it will not provide security for private events, and that institutions must deploy their own trained guards, bouncers and traffic marshals to ensure crowd management and safety.

The advisory follows the Delhi High Court's order dated November 10, 2023, and a previous directive by the DU proctor's office on January 11, 2024, in this regard. It also aligns with the standard operating procedures issued by the Delhi Police for managing campus events.
