Bushes and foliage around campus have been trimmed to improve visibility and reduce hiding spots for potential threats. Security officials are also on patrol 24/7 to ensure the safety of students and prevent any security breaches.
We encourage all students to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the security officials. The University Management, in collaboration with the Student Union, remains committed to ensuring that all students have a safe and secure environment to carry out their academic pursuits.
