The administration of the Quaid-i-Azam University has taken a major decision today to tighten the security of the campus, following an intrusion case in the girls’ hostel, after a young man entered the girls’ hostel of the University.
The Vice Chancellor of Quaid-i-Azam University has approved the implementation of all the proposed security and facility-related measures.
A complete inspection of the campus has also been ordered to search for any hidden cameras inside the hostel premises.
Intruder caught inside girls’ hostel
According to the reports, an unidentified man was caught entering the girls’ hostel late Sunday night.
The incident occurred around 2:00 am, when the individual bypassed security and was later seen inside the hostel washroom.
A video circulating on social media shows the intruder claiming to be a resident of Rawal Dam.
The intruder, after getting caught, said, “main yahan pehli baar aya tha” (I have visited the campus for the first time).
The footage has raised serious concerns among students about existing security arrangements inside the campus.
Inquiry committee formed
The university administration has formed an inquiry committee to investigate the incident. Officials said the First Information Report (FIR) related to the case will also be reviewed.
Following the incident, security patrolling inside and around the girls’ hostels has been increased. The administration has ordered a full technical sweep to check for hidden cameras in all girls’ hostels.
The administration has approved the opening of Gate No. 5 for girls on special occasions. It has also ordered the immediate repair and restoration of all security lights around the hostels.
Female guards to be deployed
As part of the new security plan, two female security guards will be deployed at the girls’ hostels to improve monitoring and response.
The university has formed a coordination committee to address girls’ hostel issues. It has also announced plans to build volleyball and badminton grounds for female students.
