Pune: In a proactive move to strengthen security on campus, Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) has launched a 24x7 security helpline. This initiative aims to provide students, faculty, staff, and visitors with an immediate response mechanism for security concerns, emergencies, and incident reporting.
The decision to establish a dedicated helpline follows a series of alarming incidents within the university campus. Cases of drug abuse in boys' hostels, liquor bottles discovered in girls' hostels, and a recent incident where a miscreant attempted inappropriate behavior in front of female students have highlighted the urgent need for stronger security measures.
To address these issues, the round-the-clock security helpline has been introduced to ensure swift action against security threats and prompt assistance during emergencies. The administration emphasized that all complaints would be handled confidentially and effectively.
