Alongside, left activists are also protesting outside the DU campus demanding to reopen the college. Students are citing study loss and lack of practical exposure as the main reasons behind their demand to reopen colleges.

Amid DU reopening protests, Delhi University VC on Tuesday said that students are getting impatient as we are considering reopening the University but many factors are to be considered. He assured students to share a decision soon. He also said that if DDMA allows 100% strength the college will be reopened.
