- Crowds broke and scaled Gate No. 1, tore through police barricades and faced a brief lathi-charge, with around 80 detainees later released and no injuries reported.
- Police deployed roughly 2,000 personnel across 12 checkpoints, restricted entry to ID holders and kept multiple gates shut as major traffic jams choked Chandigarh–Mohali routes.
- The university declared Nov 10–11 holidays and enforced sticker and ID rules, yet thousands, including non-students, farmer unions and Nihang groups, rallied inside near the vice-chancellor’s office.
- PU says a detailed Senate poll schedule has been sent to the Chancellor for approval, but student leaders say assurances are not enough and the agitation will continue until dates are notified.
- The Education Ministry withdrew its Oct 28 order to restructure the Senate and Syndicate on Nov 7, as political leaders from AAP, Congress and others joined students demanding elections.
