Punjab police carried out an anti‑eve‑teasing operation outside several colleges in Ludhiana, issuing 73 challans to alleged offenders.
Ludhiana police launched a focused anti‑eve‑teasing drive on Thursday, targeting the premises of multiple colleges in the city. Officers stationed at the entrances and surrounding areas monitored student interactions and intervened when harassment was reported.
During the operation, law‑enforcement officials recorded 73 violations and issued challans under the relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Punjab State Police Act. The offenders were asked to appear in court, and the notices also carry a fine as prescribed by law.
The police spokesperson said the initiative is part of a broader effort to curb gender‑based harassment in educational institutions and to create a safer environment for female students. The department plans to repeat similar drives during peak campus hours in the coming weeks.
