Bengaluru University considers restricting public vehicle movement on campus
Bengaluru University is a big campus where students go to learn.
Lately, many cars, buses, and bikes from outside have been driving through it.
Too much traffic can be dangerous.
A student recently got into a road accident on campus and sadly died.
The university now wants to make the campus safer.
Leaders met to talk about stopping public vehicles from coming inside.
They may also make cars drive very slowly, at just 20 kilometers per hour.
More police officers might come to help control the traffic.
The university may close one road that people use to cut through campus.
This way, students can walk and study in a safer place.
Bengaluru University is weighing restrictions on public vehicle movement inside its Jnana Bharathi campus due to rising road accidents.
The push for safety measures follows the recent death of a student in a road accident on campus.
A meeting chaired by Vice-Chancellor C. Shivraju proposed capping vehicle speeds at 20 kmph and deploying more traffic police.
Closing Gandhibhavan Road, which connects the campus with Nagarabavi, is a key proposal under consideration.
A flyover inside or around the campus is among long-term measures discussed, with a decision expected in the coming days.
