Law on ragging must be enforced urgently: SIO

by | Feb 11, 2010

The existing laws on ragging must be enforced in all the campus of the Nation urgently, stated Suhail K.K, National president of SIO in a press statement. Aman Kachroo is yet another victim of ragging that came into the limelight. The DPS pass out who recently got admitted in a medical school in Himachal Pradesh had been brutally murdered by his drunk-seniors. This is only one of several incidences happening in the campuses of our country. The boy was a victim of the ragging since a long time still faculty and college authorities looked away. The incident proves clearly that there is no provision of ensuring an alcohol free hostel premises or even so-called prevention of minor drinking despite several laws to that effect. What was most criminal is the fact that despite this tragic event had happened, college authorities did try to push up the matter as a petty suicide case. The recommendations made by the Raghavan committee, appointed by the Supreme Court and the current rules are adequate enough to wipe this menace. But the soft corner approach by the college administrations and the teachers are creating loop holes which end up in dangerous consequences. SIO strongly demands the authorities that the criminals must be punished and that the Government must ensure that no such acts repeat in any part of the country in the future.
