Chandigarh, Nov. 26 -- Following a shutdown call by Panjab University student groups demanding immediate notification of Senate elections, Chandigarh Police have tightened security, with heavy police and paramilitary deployment, especially at key entry points like Gate No. 1.

As tensions arose at the University campus on Tuesday, the university authorities declared a holiday for Wednesday, November 26, and postponed exams.

Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Chandigarh Kanwardeep Kaur reviewed the security arrangements.

This comes after student groups along with farmer unions and employee bodies, geared up for coordinated demonstrations expected to disrupt normal functioning across Chandigarh and neighbouring regions.
