New Delhi, Sep 12 (PTI) The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) on Saturday put women’s safety and expansion of hostel facilities at the centre of its campaign for the upcoming Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) polls, while setting its sights on winning all four central panel posts.
The ABVP has fielded Yash Dabas for president, Ishu Maurya for vice president, Riya Chhawdi for secretary and Lakshya Raj Singh for joint secretary.
The ABVP said construction of a 2,400-bed girls’ hostel was underway following its sustained demands and protests, but added that hostel capacity needed to be expanded further for students across the university.
The organisation also highlighted women’s safety measures, including the demand for Pink Booths, CCTV cameras, women’s safety patrol vehicles and U-Special bus services.
ABVP’s candidate for DUSU secretary Riya Chhawdi said students should not have to compromise on their safety or education because of inadequate basic facilities.
“Women’s safety and adequate hostel accommodation are issues that require continuous work, not just election-time promises,” she said, adding that expanding hostel capacity and ensuring a safe campus environment would remain among the organisation’s priorities.
