Jadavpur University Seeks Funds for Campus Security
Jadavpur University (JU) wants to make its campus safer.
They asked the state government for money to hire more security guards.
They need about ₹9 lakh each month to pay for the guards.
The need for more security came up because of some problems, like when a student died and when the Education Minister was harassed.
The university officials hope to get an answer about the money soon.
A court case is also happening about safety on campus, which is why the university is taking action.
Jadavpur University has requested funds from the state government for increased security.
The university seeks ₹9 lakh monthly for 30 security personnel and two supervisors.
The request follows incidents raising safety concerns on campus.
A meeting with the state government took place on October 15 to discuss the proposal.
The Calcutta High Court is hearing a petition regarding campus security.
