Delhi University Teacher’s Association came out on the streets of ITO against the Vice Chancellor of University of Delhi, Prof. Deepak Pental for his arrest and possession of all the documents pertaining to the sale of Gamma Irradiator containing radioactive Cobalt-60 as scrap. The march was held on July 8 from the Indian Institute of Public Administration to the Delhi Police Headquarters demanding Pental’s arrest.
More than two months have passed since the source of the radiation leakage leading to death of a person, hospitalization of some others and exposure of many others to radiation in Mayapuri became known. No action against the guilty for such a criminal act has yet been taken.
The President, vice-president, secretary and other members of DUTA took part in the march. The DUTA also made new allegations of financial impropriety against the V-C and demanded a CBI probe. There was a huge traffic chaos on the roads. “There are apprehensions that the matter is being hushed up because Pental is the Vice Chancellor,” said the press note distributed by DUTA.
