Srinagar, Aug 3: Dozens of students of National Institute of Technology in Srinagar were waiting to leave the city even as the district administration said no instructions was given to close the institution. Authorities claimed college officials had suspended classes after misunderstanding an advice to educational institutions to be watchful amid intelligence reports of terror threat. The government had issued an advisory to tourists and Amarnath Yatra pilgrims on Friday, asking them to curtail their stay in the state.
n a notice issued on Friday evening, the college administration said class work for all courses stood suspended till further orders. "We notify when we issue closure order," District Magistrate Srinagar Shahid Iqbal Choudhary tweeted.
"Our 900-plus schools/Kendriya Vidyalayas are open today. Objected to NIT claim of district administration directions to close institution. Citing SM triggered panic among parents they sought transportation help for limited numbers. We assured full security in campus too. That is all."
On Saturday morning dozens of NIT students carrying their luggage were seen waiting for buses to ferry them outside the Valley. Around 800 students are enrolled in the NIIT and half of them are from different states of the country.
An official at the NIT said that they were asked by the administration that students should be sent home. "The buses were arranged by the administration. We don't know why this decision has been taken.'' Since morning students were waiting for the buses. "We were informed to leave the Valley. Now we are waiting for the buses," said an NIT student from Uttar Pradesh. |
