Chandigarh, April 25 -- Taking strong note of blaring music resulting in hooliganism and disturbance on the campus, Panjab University (PU) has banned the use of DJ systems at events organised by varsity departments.

As per the order issued by the dean of university instruction, while PU has allowed the heads of various departments to continue to hold welcome and farewell parties, the use of DJ systems during such events is completely prohibited.
