"We have ordered suspension of all class work inside the campus till June 27.
"Taking a serious view of the uncalled for vandalism by agitating students, all hostelers have been asked to vacate the hostels immediately," he added.
Protests have rocked Kashmir University for the last two days following the arrest of a student of the English department.
