Rape at nursing hostel : Greater security needed
From The NST,
It was only recently that I questioned the need to display signboards prohibiting entry into female quarters. There are only two scenarios, either to protect them against intruders or to protect the public against them! It was of course a joke. Unfortunately, the above incident reinforced the necessity for greater security around female quarters. Any flaws in security procedures will undoubtedly lead to the mental and physical devastation of a young soul. More efficient and technologically advanced methods of security must be installed at all vulnerable areas. Depending on signboards and sleepy guards alone is foolish and only highlights the incompetency and lackaidaisical attitudes of the respective managements. Radical changes in hostel architecture is also warranted where communal baths should be abolished. Grills must be installed at all individual rooms to enhance security.
Things must change. The thought of another young victim being ravaged by these thugs is unthinkable.
