Panjab University and Chandigarh Enforce Security Measures During Holi Celebrations

Panjab University enforced a ban on official Holi celebrations at its Student Centre, allowing only small, dispersed festivities within academic departments under strict security to prevent disruptions following last year's incidents. Meanwhile, Chandigarh residents celebrated Holi in various sectors with vibrant but controlled gatherings, supported by strong police presence, barricades, and monitoring to ensure safety and prevent outsider entry. Both university and city authorities coordinated efforts to maintain order, resulting in peaceful celebrations without major incidents.
