The National Institute of Technology in Srinagar is set to re-open and start operations from 15 October, after a two-and-a-half month-long shutdown, reports The Hindu.
The development was made public by the Higher Education Secretary of Jammu and Kashmir, R Subrahmanyam. He said, "The situation is getting back to normal. We consulted with the State government and the Chief Secretary gave us the go-ahead."
The central government-run institution had stopped classes after issuing a shutdown order 2 August, merely days before the two houses of Parliament had given their nod to the abrogation of Article 370 of the Constitution of India.
Following the order, the institute's hostels were also shut down as a result of which students had to move back to their homes. Reaching out to the students of the institution, Subrahmanyam said, "All students can return by 15 October, including those who have been allotted admission this year."

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
