Hell breaks loose after counter opens 2 hrs late

NEW DELHI: It was complete chaos at the form counters for non-collegiate aspirants at the Art’s Faculty in the North Campus on Monday.
There was a huge rush of students at the non-collegiate counters and to make matters worse there were no forms available which resulted in delay in opening of the counters.
Serpentine queues were witnessed and confusion prevailed among those who came to collect and submit forms because of the rush adjacent counters as well.
“The scheduled time for the counter to open was 10 am and the university decided to open it at 9:30 am to beat the rush. But the counter actually opened at 11 am,” said a frustrated aspirant.
Although there were security personnel in place, but they failed to bring order till 1 pm. The reason stated by security guards trying to manage the queue was that the forms went out of stock. The officials refused to talk to media when asked for the reason.
Aspirants and their parents queuing at the counter could be seen arguing with each other and tempers flying as many tried to break the order adding to their misery of standing for hours in the scorching heat.
“I have been standing since 9:30 am and the counter is still closed. The security guards are unable to manage the rush and people are breaking in the queue,” said Gaurav Maheshwari, who had to get a form for his sister.
