Days after the University of Delhi exposed a fake notice saying that the varsity would reopen from January 3, a second one has come up, stating that DU will reopen from January 7. The university has yet again given a statement saying that the official reopening date is confirmed, it would be released as a statement on DU’s official website, du.ac.in as per the Ministry of Home Affairs guidelines.
