PU authorities said this was because officials concerned had expressed inability or had not confirmed availability of buildings for setting up the polling booths, located across Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan and Delhi.

President of the Students For Society Party, Sandeep said, “We hope these aren’t delay tactics. The authorities must announce the date for the second phase immediately. They must also ensure that counting takes place fairly.”
