“Additional Deputy Commissioner, Srinagar has been asked to conduct inquiry into the incident and submit its report within 15 days,” said the official spokesman quoting Jammu and Kashmir Education Minister.
The National Institute of Technology in Srinagar on Saturday was shut after a clash broke out between the students over India lost to West Indies in the World T20 semi-final match.
According to the sources, the NIT authorities said the campus has been closed and students have been asked to vacate the hostel.
After India lost on last Thursday in their T20 clash against West Indies, many local students raised anti-India slogans and even thrashed students from other states who were watching the match in their hostel rooms.
Union HRD Minister Smriti Irani on Wednesday said Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti has assured her that the students at the NIT campus, which has witnessed unrest in the past few hours, are safe.
