Protest at PU turns volatile; Traffic chaos across Chandigarh–Mohali border

Chandigarh, Nov 10 (UNI) Tension flared at Panjab University on Monday after Chandigarh UT Police lathi-charged protesting students demanding a schedule for the much-delayed PU senate elections, days after the Centre backed down on its move to replace elected governing bodies with nominated ones.
The situation created massive traffic chaos across the Chandigarh–Mohali border.
The protest, which began peacefully in the morning, turned volatile when students broke through Gate No. 1 near PGI after an altercation with the police. Chandigarh SSP Kanwardeep Kaur personally intervened at the spot, climbing onto the gate in an attempt to pacify the protesters, but the students refused to disperse.
