The release also said that during the summer vacation, each and every room in all hostels will be vacated by June 15, except medical students.

The University has also decided that no person will be allowed to enter in the premises of the Administrative Block without valid proof of identity, while, at the same time, visitors will be required to take prior appointment. Similarly, students who have any problem shall be allowed to visit authorities on prior appointment, between 3 to 5 pm on all working days, except Friday.

“Surprise check was carried out at the S.S. Hall (South), S.S. Hall (North), V.M. Hall and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar Hall annexe by the AMU authorities with the help of local police and RAF personnel. The purpose was to identify illegal residents and detect illegal weapons. The presence of University officials and police personnel reassured the students that serious efforts were being made to enforce law and order,” said the release.

The University also said that “statements made to the press by the former Vice Chancellor Mr. Mahmoodur Rahman were regrettable. He should reflect on his own tenure as AMU Vice Chancellor and not allow pique to prejudice his views for the sole reason that his cherished ambition was not fulfilled by the AMU community.”
