Lady Shri Ram College Reopens For Offline Classes After Online Shift Following Kalkaji Gang-RapeSep 23, 2026, 14:22 IST
The official notice reads, “Classes shall continue in regular offline mode from tomorrow in the College premises, i.e Thursday, 24 September 2026.” The women’s college had suspended classes from noon on Tuesday (September 22, 2026), following a police encounter with one of the accused, identified as Asif, which reportedly occurred merely 50 metres from the LSR’s back gate, leaving students anxious about their safety. According to the students, classes also remained suspended on Wednesday, with several sessions held online. Weighing in on LSR’s shift to digital mode following the incident, RJD MP Manoj Jha, in an interview with PTI, said, "To put it bluntly, stating that offline classes are being shifted online because safety and security cannot be guaranteed is akin to the recent decision by IITs to replace ceiling fans with wall fans. You are simply refusing to address the root cause of the disease and instead relying on cosmetic, superficial measures to turn it into news. This is deeply concerning to me because despite all the grand claims made about initiatives like 'Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao,' everything has collapsed completely on the ground." Meanwhile, students will organise a solidarity march for the Kalkaji gang-rape survivor at the back gate of Delhi University's Lady Shri Ram College for Women at 4 PM today. For those unfamiliar with the incident, a 17-year-old student was allegedly gang-raped at Aastha Kunj Park near the Kalkaji Mandir region by three men posing as police. All three accused have been detained, with one caught following a brief exchange of fire with the police in the Amar Colony area early Tuesday.
