Kolkata: Two days after the death of a student of the English department in the third year by drowning in a pond on the Jadavpur University campus, which led to renewed calls to improve security and installing more CCTV cameras, security controls on Saturday at Ju Gates began to be restricted on Friday the restriction of the entry of Outiders between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m.In the meantime, Minister of Education Bratya Basu said on Saturday that the funds were already sanctioned on Ju -Campus for the installation of additional CCTV cameras.“In a sensitive institute like Ju, in which similar incidents have taken place beforehand, it is a challenge to operate the university without VC. Chaos is very natural. A permanent VC is required to maintain discipline and stability. There was a judicial order for the installation of CCTV cameras. We had a discussion with the former VC, and the finance department also approved funds. I hope we can fulfill the order of the court as soon as a new VC has been appointed, ”said Basu.He answered questions about when the funds for installing 70 CCTV cameras and the recruitment of 30 additional security officers for the university's twin campus are paid out. Now JU has 78 permanent security officers, 33 private security officers and 30 CCTVs.Ju Registrar Indrajit Banerjee said to Toi: “We sent a letter to the department in which they took up around 68 rupees for CCTV cameras and 90,000 rupees for security officers. We will send a letter again on Monday that reminds you of the fund.”However, the minister blamed the lack of a full-time VC for the “chaos” on campus. “Things ran smoothly when the Vice Chancellor was present. Now there is no VC, and the university was calmly left by a person who violates the SC command. It is a plan to create chaos at state universities. These young students become victims of a person's personal agenda. “The guards of students and outsiders have checked the guards since Saturday and asked the purpose of their visit all day. On Gate 3, guards were seen as they checked two -wheelers and four -wheelers before they allowed entry to campus.Juta also pointed out in a letter to the registrar on Saturday that the administrative and financial structure of the university almost collapsed. “The university went without a statute. There is no constant vice -chancellor, dean of the students, the registrar and the financial officer who makes it impossible to make decisions and rules. There are also no elected representatives of the Executive Council, the Faculty Council and the court. In many cases, civil servants neglect their responsibility, ”said Juta Secretary General Partha Pratim Ray.Mukul, the security officer, said: “The security officers notice the registration number of vehicles and also ask the purpose of the visit. Vehicles with Ju stickers are not checked. Safety personnel usually check the details about vehicles. However, after the circular on Friday, stricter is forced.“Another guard said that the real challenge is to restrict the outsiders, especially a small part of passages in the evening.
