Bihar’s law enforcers are leaving no stone unturned to protect female students in hostels and lodges. The police directive, fresh off the press from Patna on February 4, responds to worrisome incidents by imposing a multi-layered security matrix on these vital education hubs.
Dispatched to SPs province-wide via crime investigation and vulnerable group units, the guidelines invoke fundamental rights for equal access and life with dignity. As more girls venture out for degrees, living independently, the need for impregnable safety nets has never been clearer.
First port of call: compulsory thana enrollment. Help desks curate master registers with exhaustive data on locations and leadership.
Round-the-clock female oversight is baseline. Every worker, from security to support staff, undergoes rigorous police scrutiny, documented officially.
Surveillance supremacy via HD cameras—audio-enabled, 30-day archives—in gateways, hallways, mess halls, everywhere. Floodlights, ironclad doors (bolted inside), unyielding padlocks, grilled vents. Spaces sized right per codes, spotless environs.
Visitors? Scrutinized entries only: ID, phone, biometrics logged. No men in dorms, period—relatives included. Parley in isolated parlors. Swipe-ins for evenings via fingerprints.
Helpline hubs in lobbies flaunt thana intel, desk support, brigade beats, 112 lifeline. Drills on app safeguards. Wardens wired to ping families, cops on red flags.
Patrols by SHO-led squads and Abhaya vanguards ensure adherence. Daily student huddles unearth concerns; gravity demands instant justice. This blueprint transforms hostels from potential peril zones to sanctuaries of learning.
