Counting of votes for JNUSU polls begins

India TV News  

The counting of votes for the Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union polls began on Saturday after an 11-hour delay due to a deadlock between the students and the administration, the varsity's Election Committee said. After the Delhi High Court on Friday restrained the JNU from notifying the election results till September 17, it was decided at a meeting between the student-run Election Committee and all the parties around 10 pm to go ahead with the counting, it said. However, it had to be put on hold due to a deadlock between the student community and the JNU's Grievance Redressal Cell over the latter's demand that the counting agents give a written undertaking stating they would not disclose the results, he said. "The EC tried its best to convince the GRC to change its stand based on the demands of the student community," Patel said, adding that the deadlock led to an 11-hour delay in the counting process.
