Authorities at the University of Jaffna have declared the university premises “out of bounds” as Tamil students were preparing to commemorate Maaveerar Naal tomorrow.
A notice served by the university’s competent authority declared the campus closed for Wednesday and Thursday and went on to state, “students are advised to refrain from entering into the university main premises and from taking part in all unauthorised activities”.
It comes just hours after the administration at the university sent round a circular, banning all Maaveerar Naal commemorations.
Despite efforts to clamp down on commemorations, preparations have been underway across the North-East.
