Panjab University Acts on 12 Colleges Over Delayed Appointment of Regular Principals
Panjab University has taken action against 12 affiliated colleges, including four in Ludhiana, for failing to appoint regular principals within the prescribed six-month limit. The university issued reminders and show-cause notices last year, but these colleges continue to operate under officiating principals. Representatives from four Ludhiana colleges have been summoned to explain the delay. Faculty protests at Arya College highlight concerns over administrative gaps and unresolved service issues linked to the absence of permanent principals.
