LPU suspends classes and defers mid-terms amid student protests

Lovely Professional University in Phagwara suspended classes for 10 days and postponed mid-term exams after student protests erupted over an alleged campus rape incident.

University authorities allowed students to return to their hometowns or stay inside hostels, while neighboring Chitkara University declared non-working days for administrative reasons.

Police confirmed that traffic movement on National Highway-44 was restored following a 15-hour blockade, with an FIR registered against unidentified persons as investigations continue.
