District Administration Not Issued Any Notice For Closure Of NIT Srinagar

The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Srinagar has suspended its classes in the wake of the uncertain situation in Kashmir. The Institute has released the notice regarding the suspension of classes.

An order issued by the Register of NIT reads that " This is for the information of all the students of the institute that the class work for all courses stands suspended till further orders."

The notice further added, "The above notice stands issued in accordance with the instructions received from the District Administration, Srinagar."

However, District Magistrate Srinagar Shahid Iqbal Choudhary said no such instructions were given to suspend the classes in any educational institute including NIT Srinagar.

Shahid Choudhary tweeted, "In wake of unstoppable rumours, heads of all institutions were advised in the day to remain careful. No advise/instructions for shutting down any institution. This NIT notice is apparently a miscommunication."
