Reason for Early Winter Vacation in NIT Srinagar

The decision to declare winter vacations came following an alleged blasphemous social media post against a particular religion by a non-local student. The protests were held by local students of NIT. They have made allegations that a non-local Hindu student posted a derogatory story on social media.

Winter Vacation for Educational Institutions

Earlier this week, the Directorate of School Education Kashmir (DSEK) announced winter vacations in a phased manner for educational institutions across the Kashmir Valley. The decision comes as a response to the prevailing severe cold conditions in the region and is designed to provide respite to both students and staff. The college authorities suspended the classes and sent the students home early to prevent the escalation of the protests.
