Only vehicles with DU stickers and emergency vehicles, including ambulances, media, and government cars, will be permitted inside the campus, the notice says.
To control the movement of external vehicles and ensure a safer environment for students, the DU authorities earlier installed car barriers and security surveillance boxes at seven key entry points.
The measures, implemented on 13 December, have significantly reduced traffic congestion, allowing students to navigate the campus more comfortably.
Associate Professor Saifuddin Ahmed, the university's proctor, explained that restricting vehicle movement is aimed at safeguarding students.
