  "account": "The Directorate of Student Affairs (DSA) at the University of the Punjab has announced that university students are exempt from paying parking or toll entry charges at the university's entry points. Through its official social media account, the DSA confirmed that the university had already issued several notifications about this exemption. To enter the premises, students must present proper identification and inform the toll collectors that they are university students. The DSA clarified that toll operators cannot accurately determine if an individual is eligible for the exemption without valid identification. The directorate advised students to avoid confrontations with contractors or toll collectors and simply show their Student Identification Cards upon entry. In the event of any charges made by contractors or toll operators despite proper identification, students are instructed to promptly report the incident. They can do so by emailing info.dsa@pu.edu.pk or contacting the Security Control Room via WhatsApp at +92 301 4435741. The DSA requested that students provide detailed information about any incident so that the matter can be verified. The directorate warned that if authorities determine a contractor charged a properly identified student, the contractor will face a hefty fine from the Office of Resident Officer-I. The Directorate of Student Affairs emphasized the importance of students cooperating, carrying their Student Identification Cards, and reporting any violations through the prescribed channels.",
