ISLAMABAD: The Quaid-e-Azam University remains shut on Tuesday as well after the tense situation on campus has not dissipated after several weeks of unrest.
At the entry points of the university, police have been deployed and security measures have been increased.
The shuttle service of the varsity has been suspended too.
The protesting students, who will hold a demonstration today as well, said their protest will continue until the detained students are reinstated.
The university administration has kept quiet on the subject of resumption of educational activities.
In the beginning of October, students started protesting for better facilities at the hostels and for the cancellation of a recent hike in fees.
However, sources had said their real reason for the protest was to pressurise the university administration to repeal the expulsion of their colleagues who had been dismissed from the university following clashes between two students' groups earlier in the year.
A heavy contingent of police arrived to control the unrest, firing tear-gas shells to disperse raged students. Authorities also called in Rangers to control the situation.
Several students were arrested.
The arrested students were accused of possession of illegal weapons, wreaking havoc and attempted murder.
