Wednesday, May 20, 2026 – Former Vice-Chancellor of Kashmir University Professor Khurshid and prominent advocate Jehanzeb called on Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha at Raj Bhavan on Wednesday afternoon. While the LG’s office has not issued a detailed statement on the nature of the discussions, such meetings generally involve matters of academic administration, governance concerns or representations from civil society figures seeking to raise issues before the highest authority of the administration in the Union Territory.
The call is notable given the current context of J&K’s changing governance landscape. The University of Kashmir, one of the largest academic institutions in the valley, has been facing several institutional challenges in recent months, including scrutiny of international academic collaborations. During Professor Khurshid’s tenure as Vice-Chancellor there were significant developments in the university’s research and extension programmes.
Lt. Governor Sinha has maintained an active schedule of meetings with academics, professionals and public figures in recent weeks as part of the administration’s stated commitment to accessible governance. The LG’s Raj Bhavan has increasingly served as a space for civil society participation alongside its primary administrative functions.
