Babushahi Bureau
Chandigarh, May 31, 2025 — Anurag Dalal, President of the Punjab University Student Council, who recently demanded a name change for Punjab University, has issued an apology to the student community. However, he has remained silent about the letter calling for the university’s renaming.
Yesterday, Anurag Dalal wrote a letter to the Vice-Chancellor of Punjab University proposing to rename the institution as "Punjab and Haryana University."Despite the controversy sparked by this demand, Dalal has not addressed the specifics of the letter in his public statements or videos.
The apology appears to be aimed at pacifying students who were unsettled by the proposal, but the silence on the letter’s content has left many questions unanswered among the university community.
