LUCKNOW: Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati on Wednesday lifted the ban on student union elections.

The decision follows the nod given by a committee headed by Chief Secretary P.K. Mishra, which was asked to give its opinion on union elections in the light of the recommendations of the J.M. Lyngdoh Committee, set up by the Centre to curb ragging.

Making the announcement in the Assembly, the Chief Minister said the elections would be held in accordance with the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations.
