Nalagarh. College students are becoming victims of molestation on the National Highway Bypass Road in Nalagarh of Solan district of Himachal Pradesh. Every day miscreants surround the girl students here and harass them. Now when the water started flowing above the heads, the college students have shown courage and submitted a memorandum to the SDM.
The girl students told that a middle-aged man did obscene acts in front of them and even stripped naked. Information about these incidents was given to the college principal, but when no action was taken, the anger of the girl students increased. The girl students told that every day while going to college and returning, some youths follow them on the bypass and make dirty comments and sometimes even try to block the way.
When no concrete action was taken despite complaints being lodged at both the college administration and police level, the girl students held a strong protest under the banner of ABVP in the SDM office premises. The girl students raised slogans against the police and administration and said that playing with their security will not be tolerated under any circumstances. Student Sonakshi Mishra, student Karna and student Rana have demanded in a memorandum to the SDM and DSP that permanent police patrolling should be deployed on the bypass. Also, CCTV cameras should be installed on vehicles so that girl students can go to college in a safe environment.
DSP Bhishma Thakur said that as soon as the complaint was received, police personnel were deployed on the bypass. CCTV cameras will also be installed in the area soon. He assured the girl students that the administration is completely with them and any kind of molestation will not be tolerated.
The student shared the video and told about her ordeal
Earlier, on Tuesday, a college student had also shared a video on social media. The girl told that this incident had happened with me and my friend earlier also. He said that uncle and two boys stand on the road leading to the new bus stand and make obscene gestures and girls should not go there as there can be molestation and rape. On the other hand, DSP Ajay Thakur also shared the video and appealed to Nalagarh Police to take cognizance. Ajay has also been the captain of the Indian Kabaddi team and is currently posted in Una district.
