The Punjab University has clarified that its students do not need to pay parking or toll entry charges. The exemption applies at the university’s entry points.
The clarification was issued by the Directorate of Student Affairs (DSA). The directorate shared the information through its official social media account.
The DSA said the university had already issued several notifications about the exemption. Students were therefore advised to follow the required identification process when entering the campus.
Students must identify themselves as university students at the entry points. They must also present a valid Student Identification Card to the relevant staff.
The university explained that toll collectors cannot always determine who qualifies for the exemption. Proper identification is therefore necessary for students seeking free entry.
The Punjab University has advised students to avoid arguments with contractors or toll collectors. Students should simply show their valid Student Identification Cards when requested.
The DSA also asked students to report any violation of the policy. Students can report cases where they are charged despite showing proper identification.
Complaints can be sent to the DSA through its official email address. Students can also contact the Security Control Room through WhatsApp.
The DSA provided a WhatsApp contact number for reporting such incidents. Students should share relevant information when submitting a complaint.
Providing complete details can help authorities verify the incident. The university can then determine whether a contractor or toll collector violated the instructions.
The DSA warned that violations could result in action against contractors. If a contractor is found charging an identified student, a heavy fine may follow.
The fine would be imposed by the Office of Resident Officer-I. This measure is intended to ensure compliance with the university’s exemption policy.
The Punjab University has urged students to cooperate with staff at entry points. Students should keep their identification cards with them while entering the campus.
The university also encouraged students to use the designated complaint channels. This can help authorities address unauthorized charges more quickly.
The clarification aims to prevent confusion over parking and toll entry charges. It also provides students with clear instructions when entering university premises.
Students who face such issues are advised to remain calm. They should present their identification and report any improper charges through official channels.
