LPU Suspends Classes for 10 Days After Protest; NH-44 Traffic Restored
LPU has suspended classes for 10 days from September 28 and postponed midterm exams after protests, with police confirming NH-44 traffic has been restored.
Classes at Lovely Professional University (LPU) have been suspended for ten days beginning Monday, September 28, following a protest on campus. Midterm examinations have also been postponed until further notice, according to university authorities.
With the academic calendar paused, several students were seen leaving the campus to return to their homes. The exodus followed the announcement of the class suspension and the deferral of the midterm tests.
On the law-and-order front, police said traffic on National Highway 44 has been restored and the situation is under control. NH-44 is a key arterial route, and its disruption during the protest had affected movement in the area.
The university has not announced revised dates for the midterm examinations, which will be communicated later. It remains unclear when regular classes will resume after the ten-day suspension ends.
Authorities have not issued any further statement on the circumstances that led to the protest or on any action taken in connection with it.
