Srinagar, The upcoming visit of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the Kashmir Valley has caused significant disruptions in the academic schedules of students, with major universities in the region being forced to postpone examinations scheduled for tomorrow.

According to Kashmir Media Service, the University of Kashmir and the Central University of Kashmir have announced the postponement of all exams that were set to take place on March 7. The decision has been made in light of heightened security measures and restrictions across Srinagar and other parts of the Kashmir Valley, impacting the daily lives and routines of students and residents alike.

The atmosphere of fear and increased security checks, including frisking and body searches at various checkpoints, has not only affected the academic plans of students but also posed additional challenges for motorists and commuters in the region. This move underscores the broader implications of high-profile political visits on the normal functioning of educational institutions and the day-to-day activities of citizens.

The disruption of academic schedules adds to the growing concerns over the impact of such visits on the welfare and rights of the people in occupied Jammu and Kashmir, highlighting the need for careful consideration of local contexts in planning and executing such high-security events.
