As many as 150 students of Panjab University who were living in hostels on campus have been left in lurch after they were told to vacate the premises by university administration on Friday.
Students expressed their resentment over the varsity’s move and protested outside vice-chancellor Raj Kumar’s office for over six hours. The protesting students also tried to enter the office but were not allowed by the security guards.
In a circular issued by dean students’ welfare (DSW), hostel residents who belong to Haryana, Punjab, UP and other states of the region were advised to vacate the hostels immediately.

Students, especially those who belong to nearby states, were requested to leave the hostel. For others, which also includes foreign students, they are not forced to leave. This step is being taken keeping in mind the safety of hostellers.” ( HT Story )
