Overview
- Student groups under the Panjab University Bachao Morcha say the agitation will continue until an official timetable for Senate elections is publicly announced, despite the Centre withdrawing its October 28 restructuring order on November 7.
- Chandigarh Police deployed heavy security, sealed most gates and restricted access to ID holders before using a limited lathicharge after barricades were breached, with roughly 80 people detained and later released, according to police.
- The university declared a two-day holiday for November 10–11 and enforced vehicle sticker and ID checks to curb outsider entry onto the campus.
- Farmer unions, Sikh organisations and several politicians reached or attempted to reach the campus, expanding the protest beyond students and fueling larger crowds and sit-ins.
- Traffic across the Chandigarh–Mohali border was severely disrupted as authorities set up multiple checkpoints and deployed about 2,000 personnel, with reports of long jams on key approach roads.
