The University of Engineering and Technology Lahore has announced that classes online will be held at its New Campus in Kala Shah Kaku today. The decision comes after the closure of the KSK Toll Plaza interchange.
University officials said the road closure has blocked main entry points to the campus. This situation is expected to create serious travel problems for students and staff. To avoid disruption, the administration decided to move classes online for the day.
University spokesperson Dr. Tanveer Qasim confirmed the update. He explained that the closure has made access to the campus difficult. As a result, holding physical classes was not practical under current conditions.
The shift to classes online aims to ensure safety and convenience for everyone. Students are advised to attend lectures through official digital platforms. Faculty members have also been instructed to continue teaching through online systems.
Officials clarified that this decision applies only to the Kala Shah Kaku campus. Academic activities at the main campus in Lahore will continue as usual. Other affiliated campuses are also operating without changes.
Students have been asked to stay connected through official communication channels. The university will share any further updates if the situation changes. This will help ensure smooth coordination between students and staff.
The move to classes online reflects the university’s effort to manage unexpected disruptions. Authorities said such steps are necessary to maintain academic continuity. They also aim to reduce inconvenience caused by external factors.
Transport issues caused by the toll plaza closure have affected many commuters. Students traveling from nearby areas faced delays and limited access routes. This added to concerns about timely attendance.
By shifting to classes online, the university hopes to minimize academic loss. It also ensures that students can continue their studies without interruption.
For now, the arrangement is temporary and will be reviewed soon. The university will decide on further action based on road conditions and accessibility.
The decision highlights how institutions are adapting to sudden challenges. Digital learning continues to play an important role in maintaining education during disruptions.
