Laws against ragging should be strictly enforced by the university authorities and police etc, without leaving it to undergraduates to cope with . This will ensure that those who want to learn could engage in their studies without fear and harassment.

KICK THEM OUT Wednesday, 18 January 2017 11:00 PM

Don't delay - put tghe CID and arrest them. File a case - once convicted - kick them out. If other students protest - charge them for contempt of court , and imprison all the protesters. A good lesson is long overdue. Government Ministers please do not interfere.

Justice should be served .... ON A SILVER PALATE .... Nobody has the right to physically abuse a child who is as brave as he has been .... Many children are suffocating because of their meaningless "rules and regulations"....
