Chandigarh Traffic Advisory: The road between Chandigarh’s Sector 38 West and Sector 38 will be closed for the next 10 days due to repair work. During this period, vehicular movement on this route will be strictly prohibited and traffic will be diverted, jagran.com reported.

According to the Engineering Department, this work is being done to improve road quality and streamline traffic flow. Once completed, residents and passersby in the area will have access to improved road access.
The administration has appealed to everyone for cooperation and said that efforts will be made to complete the work within the stipulated time period to minimise the inconvenience to the citizens.
Panjab University Protests
Meanwhile, the students of Panjab University held a massive protest on Monday in the university premises in Chandigarh over their demands to release a schedule for the much-delayed PU senate elections, the highest governing body of the university.
The students continued the protest even after a heavy deployment of police outside the premises to control the agitation. The protestors stated that they have been demanding to conduct the polls to reconstitute the 91-member Senate, adding that the administration has neglected their demands, leading to the protest.
The students also stated that while the centre has withdrawn its proposal of replacing the existing system with a nominated structure, they want a formal announcement with details.
A massive row erupted after the Centre issued a notification to change the Senate's composition. The notification of October 28 suggested the dissolution of Panjab University's top governing bodies and replacing them with nominated structures through an executive notification.
