TISS says will review decision to ban PSF

The Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) has sort of taken a U-turn on its decision to ban Progressive Students' Forum (PSF). It has claimed that it was primarily done to "lessen the workload" on administration.

The TISS administration had earlier termed the leftwing organisation "illegal and unauthorised" forum, with "divisive ideologies". It has now adopted a markedly different tone. In a public notice issued on Saturday, the premier institute said that it's reviewing the ban, following a plea by PSF to the institute chancellor DP Singh to reconsider the decision.
