A nine-member committee of the university headed by Vice Chancellor Soumendra Mohan Patnaik held discussions with Police Commissioner Y B Khurania at the Commissionerate police headquarters. The decision to reopen the university was taken after the meeting, Satpathy said. Adequate police will be deployed on the campus if needed, said Khurania. As per the decision students can enter the varsity through the main gate with their identity cards after 9 am Monday. Security forces will check identity cards at the entrance.
