The classwork in six key educational institutes of Srinagar that include Amar Singh College, Sri Pratap College, Gandhi College, Islamia College, Sri Pratap Higher Secondary School and MP Higher Secondary School remained suspended today as authorities feared protests by the students.

The classwork, however, in all these educational institutes is expected to resume tomorrow.
