THE Delhi University campus witnessed a quieter yet poignant victory celebration on Friday as newly elected DUSU president Aryan Maan and his fellow ABVP leaders were carried on the shoulders of jubilant supporters, their necks weighed down by heavy garlands of marigolds.

With victory processions banned, the scene unfolded in a subdued, almost ceremonial manner. The procession ended at the Vivekananda statue, where the traditional victory photograph was captured.
