Students anxious as univs in border states remain silent on classes

|The New Indian Express Kottayam
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. Leave was reportedly sanctioned only after the intervention of elected representatives, and even then, it was limited to May 12.
"The university has said that classes will continue in online mode till Friday," Basil Saman, a CUP student, told TNIE.
"However, the news we hear from Punjab is worrying as more drones were spotted in Amritsar. We are not ready to go back until there is complete peace there."
