A security jawan in Srinagar on Wednesday PTIThe governor’s administration got colleges and universities to reopen in Kashmir on Wednesday but the students stayed away, just as schoolchildren had earlier during the 66-day-old lockdown. She said she also had a second reason for coming: to find out whether and when her exams would be held. A Kashmir University professor said no classes were held although a few students had turned up. Throwing the secondary classes and colleges open has been a double-edged sword for the government because of fears of protests by the returning youths. The spokesperson said the meeting was held to discuss ways of saving the students from losing an academic year.
