CHANDIGARH: Two days after a statue of former high minister Rajiv Gandhi used to be vandalized in Ludhiana, four signboards of the Rajiv Gandhi College Bhawan have been sprayed with black paint here at Panjab University on Thursday. These signboards bearing the identify of Rajiv Gandhi have been in 3 languages - Punjabi, Hindi and English.
Moreover, the incident happened at the day when the college played a number for the 34th north zone inter-university youth competition and Punjab finance minister Manpreet Badal used to be the manager visitor on the inauguration rite on Thursday.
"I strongly condemn the incident and such acts won't be tolerated. We were concentrating on the youth festival but it is very unfortunate that the incident has happened at Panjab University. We have started our investigation and those found guilty of spraying these boards with black paint would be dealt with a legal action," stated Ashwani Koul, chief of college safety, PU.
Two signboards outside the Rajiv Gandhi College Bhawan, one outside the men' hostel quantity four and another signboard close to the Ankur School in Panjab University have been blackened. After the incident got here to mild, the black spray from the signboards used to be got rid of.
The college is yet to check the CCTV pictures of the encircling spaces the place the incident happened. "All the signboards were on the roadside and the cameras cannot be installed everywhere. We are yet to check the CCTV footage of the areas where these signboards were installed," added Koul.
SHO of Sector 11, Rajiv Kumar, reached the spot after he used to be knowledgeable concerning the incident and stated, "The police will investigate the topic once we obtain a grievance. If the college inns a grievance with the police, then only we will be able to get started the investigation within the topic.”
However, this isn't the first time that the signboards have been sprayed with paint. It used to be in October earlier this yr that Hindi text on signboards at Panjab University used to be smeared with black paint. All the three signboards smeared with black paint have been situated in dark spaces, the place there were no CCTV cameras.
NSUI condemns the attack
National Students Union of India national coordinator Manoj Lubana submitted a written grievance to the Panjab University government to identify the culprit and take strict motion in opposition to the ones involved within the act. "It may be very unfortunate that such an incident has happened in a school. Such misconduct must not be tolerated and an FIR must be filed in opposition to the miscreants involved within the act," stated Lubana.
