Sir — This refers to the editorial, “Unnecessary violence” (September 26). Violence in the campus of Banaras Hindu University is unfortunate. It is surprising that stones and petrol bombs were hurled at the security guards and police by the students. It made a painful reading. Students are sent to schools/colleges to learn and equip themselves to make their future. They should desist from indulging in unlawful activities in the citadels of learning. Because of a few unwanted elements in the campus, the future of many other students are at stake.
Meanwhile, it was reported that outside forces cause trouble in the campus. Can’t the security forces stop the entry of bad elements into the campusIJ Or else, closed circuit television cameras must be installed besides beefing up security. Moreover, students should follow the code of conduct prescribed for them in the campus and maintain strict discipline. Those who are interested in education should only be admitted in the first hand.
