Tirupati SP directs schools to strengthen student safety measures
A police officer named Subba Rayudu, who is in charge of the Tirupati district, met with people who run private schools and colleges.
He wanted to talk about how to keep students safe.
He said keeping students safe is not just the job of police, but also parents, teachers, schools, and everyone in society.
He told schools to put up CCTV cameras that work all the time and watch important places like gates, exits, and parking areas.
He also said students should learn about online dangers like cybercrimes, fake links, and online harassment.
Parents and teachers should watch what children do online and teach them to use technology safely.
Special care should be taken to keep girls safe.
People who harass or tease students must face strict action.
School buses and vans must be safe too, with a driver and an attendant, and everyone must follow road rules.
This way students can feel safe at school and on their way to and from school.
District SP L Subba Rayudu held a special meeting with private school and college managements in Tirupati on Thursday to review student safety and crime prevention measures.
He directed institutions to strengthen campus security and keep CCTV cameras working at all times, covering main gates, exits, parking areas, with footage properly recorded and stored.
Schools and colleges were urged to run regular awareness programmes on cybercrimes, social media misuse, fake links, online harassment, and identity theft.
The SP called for strict action against harassment and eve-teasing, along with self-defense and safety awareness programmes, with special attention to the safety of girls.
Managements were asked to ensure safe student transport, including buses and vans with a driver and attendant, valid fitness certificates, and compliance with road safety rules.
