Manipal, September 4: Inspector General of Police (Western Range) Pratap Reddy has urged to take immediate steps to install close-circuit television (CCTV) cameras in buildings and complexes at the earliest to keep an eye on students in Manipal.

Speaking at an interaction programme jointly organised by Udupi district Police Department and Manipal University to imbibe discipline among university students, he also said that Home Guard personnel should be deployed for effective night patrolling in the city.

In recent days, there has been an increase in illegal activities in and around Manipal such as use and sale of intoxicated substances, consumption of liquor in public places, dancing in clubs and misdemeanour among university students, along with theft of mobiles, laptops and two-wheelers, and irresponsible driving due to intoxication. In view of the rise in complaints regarding these problems, this urgent meeting was called, he said.

Detailing the severe consequences of all the above issues as well as precautionary measures with the help of a demo, Udupi district Superintendent of Police Dr Boralingaiah said that action was being taken by the district police to resolve those kind of problems. Through swift implementation of police watch during night hours, strict action will be taken against those who sold and consumed intoxicating substances and drove rashly and irresponsibly, he said.

Manipal University Chancellor Ramdas Pai, Vice-Chancellor Dr H S Ballal, Registrar V K Prabhu, heads of various departments in Mangalore and hostel wardens were present on the occasion. Police officials under Udupi city limits as well as Manipal police officials participated in the event.
