Heavy police deployment was made in Panchkula in view of the protest. The march had started from Panipat and reached Panchkula after passing through different areas.

Following the protest, protesters submitted a memorandum addressed to the governor. The memorandum highlighted the demand to roll back the UGC decision, along with other demands raised by the protesters.

The protesters appealed to the government to take a positive decision at the earliest. They said the issue had caused concern among community members and sought government intervention.

The demonstration remained focused on the demand for the UGC rollback, with participants calling for the government to address their concerns.
