GUWAHATI: The students of Gauhati University staged a protest in front of the university main gate on June 7, Friday. The protest was against the lack of security at the university which has been leading to crimes in and around the campus.
On June 5, a law student of Gauhati University was allegedly molested inside the campus premises at around 7 PM. Following the incident, the victim filed an FIR at Jalukbari Police Station.

The students alleged that neither the police provide proper security in the area, nor are the guards strict enough.
"We, the students of Gauhati University, have urged the officials at Jalukbari police station to start regular patrolling inside the campus several times in the past but they only visit the campus once or twice a week," informed Nayan Jyoti Gogoi, the general secretary of Gauhati University.
He added that the University officials are also to be blamed.
"Anyone can enter the campus at any time. Residents of the area take the university road to commute in order to avoid the longer route. When a vehicle enters the campus, the guards only ask the name of the driver and let them by," alleged Gogoi.
No security would be better than the present security, he said.
