Balochistan University (BU) has been closed till further orders, the university administration said in a notification on Tuesday.
The notice issued by the Registrar Office late on Tuesday said that varsity would remain closed from 10 November due to inevitable circumstances. As per the notification, all academic and administrative matters in the university will remain suspended.
The development came hours after the students closed the gates of the university and boycotted the ongoing MA/MSc examinations in protest for two missing students. No teacher, staff member, or student was allowed to enter the university premises.

Protesting students said that they had taken up the issue with the university administration but it did not take any action, prompting them to protest.
On the other hand, newly-elected Chief Minister Abdul Quddus Bizenjo has formed a three-member parliamentary committee to hold talks with the students of Balochistan University. The committee will present its report within 24 hours after holding talks with the students.
