In an outrageous move, the University of Mysore has imposed restrictions on the movement of female students on campus after 6.30 pm from 27 August over the “safety of girl students”. This comes days after an MBA student was allegedly gang raped in Mysuru. No restrictions have been placed on male students.
According to the order issued by the Registrar, female students on campus have been barred from going to Kukkarahalli Lake premises after 6.30 pm. "Security officers should make arrangements to patrol the lake area from 6 pm to 9 pm," the circular read.
“Further, in the Mansa Gangothri premises, it is prohibited for females to sit alone after 6.30 pm. Security personnel will also be deployed for patrolling every day between 6 to 9 pm,” the circular read.
