Student organizations and women’s rights collectives across Delhi University escalated their agitation on Wednesday, organizing spirited protest marches outside the Vice-Chancellor’s office and across South Campus to demand immediate institutional overhauls of campus security architectures. Carrying illuminated placards and shouting demands for campus safety, hundreds of undergraduate and postgraduate scholars condemned recent harassment episodes reported near transit hubs and women’s hostels.
The demonstration convenors submitted an exhaustive charter of demands to the collegiate administration, calling for the immediate deployment of female security personnel along dimly lit university lanes, installation of high-definition CCTV coverage, and round-the-clock operation of campus shuttle buses. The students also demanded the time-bound functional restructuring of internal complaints committees across all constituent colleges to ensure prompt adjudication of grievances.
University administrative officials engaged with a designated delegation of student leaders, promising to constitute a joint security audit committee involving faculty and student representatives. Civil society activists expressed solidarity with the student demonstrators, emphasizing that ensuring safe educational spaces is a non-negotiable prerequisite for equitable female participation in higher learning.
