JNUSU polls to be called off? Panel seeks cop cover

NEW DELHI: Jawaharlal Nehru University Students’ Union (JNUSU) election committee has approached the university administration seeking protection from Delhi Police, citing threats to the lives of its members, reports Sugandha Jha.
“We have requested police protection through the university administration. There is genuine fear that some students may attempt to attack EC members again. Last time, despite barricades and security personnel, some students managed to break into our room and smashed the glass panes. One of our members was injured during the chaos,” a source from the EC said.
Sources indicated that unless a new poll schedule is released within the next 2 to 3 days, the polls may have to be cancelled altogether.
