JNU Student Elections Today; University urges not to disturb peaceful atmosphere

Jawaharlal Nehru University Campus in New Delhi has its students' union elections today. Counting will be announced on March 24, 2024. 

Jawaharlal Nehru University has appealed to students to refrain from vitiating the peaceful atmosphere of the campus and facilitate a peaceful JNUSU election.

The university has noticed that some students have allegedly raised motivated slogans during the event of the presidential debate of the JNUSU election held on March 21, 2024. JNU's official statement said that this is totally unacceptable as it may hurt feelings and sentiments of various sections of the JNU community.

In this incident, the security branch has been instructed by the Vice Chancellor to immediately look into the matter and submit a report.

The university has reminded everyone that Model Code of Conduct is in place and the election process is being monitored by the High Court-appointed Special Observer.

"The administration urges all sections of the JNU community to refrain from vitiating the peaceful atmosphere of the campus and facilitate a peaceful JNUSU election. Security Branch should immediately be informed/contacted in case anyone is found to be indulging in any unauthorised activity," reads the official notification.
