Dear Administration of Delhi Technological University (DTU),

 

We, the students, faculty, alumni, and concerned members of the DTU community, are writing to bring urgent attention to a severe and recurring safety issue on our campus: reckless, overspeeding vehicles inside pedestrian zones.

 

A tragic incident occurred on campus where a speeding car crushed a young puppy on an internal DTU road. Despite frantic efforts by students to seek immediate medical help, emergency veterinary services could not arrive in time, and the puppy passed away in front of our eyes. 

 

This is not an isolated incident. Unchecked movement and overspeeding of private vehicles across internal campus roads pose a constant, fatal threat to animals and pedestrians alike.

 

The Core Issues:

1. Unrestricted Vehicle Access & Overspeeding: Private student and faculty vehicles frequently exceed safe speed limits on internal campus roads.

2. Lack of CCTV Surveillance: The total absence of CCTV cameras on inner campus roads allows reckless drivers to escape accountability completely.

3. Delayed Emergency Services: Emergency response times are too slow to save lives after an accident, making prevention our only option.

 

Our Demands to DTU Administration:

1. Ban Internal Vehicle Entry: Completely restrict private student and faculty vehicles to designated parking areas near entry gates.

2. Pedestrian-Only Campus Zones: Keep inner campus roads restricted to walking, bicycles, or low-speed campus shuttles.

3. CCTV Camera Installation: Install speed-monitoring CCTV cameras at key stretches and intersections across campus.

4. Speed Control & Penalties: Install speed breakers near animal roaming areas and levy strict fines/disciplinary action for overspeeding.

 

We urge the administration to prioritize life, safety, and campus security over driving convenience. 

 

Please sign this petition to demand a safer, vehicle-restricted, and humane DTU campus.
