Panjab University Student Elections Begin Amid Campaign Restrictions and Candidate Disputes
Panjab University student elections are set for August 31, with over 39,000 voters across eight colleges and 76 candidates contesting various posts.

Debates and allegations, such as challenges to ABVP candidate Ankit Bidhan's eligibility, have emerged amid concerns over voter turnout due to holidays and festival celebrations.
