Concerns Raised Over Hosting SARAS Mela and Events at Punjab Agricultural University Grounds
The Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) campus in Ludhiana is facing concerns over hosting large events amid academic and sports activities. The district administration is seeking an alternative venue for the SARAS Mela, scheduled from October 27 to November 5, due to objections from PAU officials, students, and teachers about disruptions during mid-semester exams and the annual youth festival. Additionally, sportspeople have raised issues over damage and loss of practice time caused by cultural events held on PAU grounds, urging for a dedicated venue to protect sporting facilities.
