In the release, it has been mentioned that all the faculty and staff members of the Academic and Non-Academics Departments will be reporting in their respective departments.
The essential services will be available as usual.
Earlier in the day, it was reported several girls tried to commit suicide after their videos leaked. However, this claim was dismissed by Prof, Dr RS Bawa, the Pro-Chancellor of the University. He also urged students and their parents not to believe in any rumours.
”No student committed suicide. A preliminary probe reveals that the accused girl had sent her own pics/videos to her boyfriend. No other material was found. FIR filed. Police probing it. I appeal to students & parents not to believe in any rumours: Pro-Chancellor,”
