Students of LSR University staged a protest on campus, calling for immediate improvements in safety protocols after recent incidents raised concerns.
Students of LSR University gathered at the main gate on Monday, holding placards that highlighted gaps in the institution's safety infrastructure. The protest was organized after a series of incidents on campus raised alarm among the student body, prompting them to demand concrete measures such as increased security personnel, CCTV coverage, and better lighting.
Representatives of the student union addressed the media, stating that the administration had been slow to act on prior complaints. They urged the university authorities to form an independent safety committee and to conduct a thorough audit of existing security provisions.
The university's spokesperson acknowledged the concerns and said that a meeting with student leaders would be scheduled within the week to discuss actionable steps. Meanwhile, the protest remained peaceful, with no reports of clashes or arrests.
The incident adds to a growing trend of campus safety protests across Indian higher‑education institutions, reflecting heightened awareness among students about personal security.
Authorities are expected to release a detailed response in the coming days, outlining the specific reforms the university will implement.
