In response to the severe impact of torrential rains causing landslides, road blockages, and concerns over the safety of students, the Vice-Chancellor of Himachal Pradesh University has issued an official directive to suspend all teaching activities until August 19th, 2023. The decision comes as a precautionary measure to ensure the well-being and security of students and staff members.
The ongoing heavy rains have led to several landslides in and around the region, rendering roads impassable and causing significant disruption to daily life. The university administration, prioritizing the safety of its students, has taken the necessary step to temporarily halt teaching activities.
As a result of the suspension, all classes and academic sessions are postponed until August 19th, resuming on the morning of the specified date. Furthermore, the H.P. University Library will remain closed to students, faculty, and visitors until August 20th, 2023, to accommodate necessary maintenance and safety checks.
It’s important to note that the teaching and non-teaching staff will be required to continue their regular attendance at the university, ensuring the maintenance of essential administrative and operational functions.
The Vice-Chancellor and university authorities have expressed their commitment to monitor the weather conditions closely and make informed decisions regarding any further changes to the academic schedule. Updates and announcements related to the suspension and subsequent reopening of classes will be communicated via the university’s official communication channels.
The university community is advised to stay tuned to official announcements and local news sources for the latest information on the situation. The safety and well-being of all students, staff, and faculty members remain the top priority during these challenging weather conditions.
