Overview
- The seminary issued a written advisory Wednesday evening through hostel in-charge Maulana Ashraf Abbas asking students to avoid Kanwar Yatra routes and the GT Road unless travel is essential.
- Students who must travel were told to use only reserved railway coaches and to carry Darul Uloom–issued identity cards at all times.
- No student will be allowed to enter the campus after sunset without producing the institution’s identity card, and the advisory has been disseminated to resident students for immediate compliance.
- Darul Uloom framed the guidance as an internal disciplinary and safety step to ensure orderly movement on campus during the high-traffic pilgrimage.
- The advisory comes as Uttar Pradesh authorities have deployed special traffic and security arrangements for the Kanwar Yatra, one of northern India’s largest annual pilgrimages that brings heavy crowds to routes such as the GT Road.
