Students anxious as universities in border states remain silent on classes

KOZHIKODE: Students from universities in India’s border states are growing increasingly anxious as their sanctioned official leave period came to an end on Monday. In the wake of tensions along the India-Pakistan border, many students — including a significant number from Kerala — had returned to their home states. However, universities are yet to issue any notification regarding the reopening of the campuses or the extension of leave.

At the Central University of Punjab (CUP), students allege that the authorities initially refused to grant leave despite reports of Pakistani drones being spotted above the campus.
