Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Friday said that a special audit of five Delhi University colleges funded by the State government revealed serious financial irregularities and violations of UGC norms and the government was considering to initiate legal proceedings based on the report.

“Despite showing a surplus of crores, the salary of teachers and staffers has not been released. This comes after the colleges have repeatedly alleged that the Delhi government was withholding funds,” Mr. Sisodia said.
