Punjab University Protest Sparks Fires, Blocks Delhi‑Amritsar Highway

A protest at a second Punjab university erupted into violence, with students setting several campus buildings ablaze. The unrest quickly spread to the nearby Delhi‑Amritsar highway, causing a complete traffic stand‑off and forcing authorities to close the road for several hours. Police have been deployed to restore order, but no official statements on arrests or injuries have been released yet. This incident follows a similar protest at another Punjab university earlier this year, highlighting a growing pattern of campus unrest in the state.
