HC restricts activities on college campuses, bans DJ programme

The Kerala High Court today imposed restrictions on activities in college campuses including DJ programmes, saying college and hostel campuses are not venues for students to show off.
Upholding the state government's decision to restrict students' vehicles on college campuses, the court also prevented DJ programmes by external agencies inside campuses.
In his judgement, Justice V Chitambaresh observed that celebrations in colleges were crossing the limits and ordered that programmes on campuses cannot spill over 9 pm and students' vehicles shall not enter beyond parking area.
The judgement came in the wake of the death of a student in accident during Onam celebrations on the campus of College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram two months ago.

The order was passed while considering a plea by students ousted from the Thiruvananthapuram College of Engineering in connection with the death of the third year civil student.
