He mentioned that during a survey, it was discovered that some irregularities had not been completely addressed in certain areas. As a result, the university has decided to undertake the clean-up process itself.

The vote counting will commence at 8:00 am at the Conference Centre, located opposite the Department of Botany in the North Campus.
All colleges, departments, institutes, and centres have been instructed to conduct the counting of their respective votes on November 24. Morning colleges, departments, institutes, and centres will begin counting at 8:00 am, while evening institutions have been directed to start at 2:00 pm.
Earlier, on November 11, the Delhi High Court had directed Delhi University to begin the vote counting process by November 26, contingent on the cleaning and repainting of all public and private properties defaced during the election campaign within a week.
The bench, comprising Chief Justice Manmohan and Justice Tushar Rao Gedela, also instructed Delhi University and its students to file a report confirming the restoration of the defaced properties within 10 days. The Court was hearing a petition filed by Prashant Manchanda, who raised concerns about the defacement of public and private properties during the DUSU elections.
