E-rickshaws blocking college entrances, unsafe last-mile connectivity, encroached footpaths, dark spots and poorly lit stretches were among several safety concerns raised by principals of Delhi University’s women’s colleges during a meeting with lieutenant governor (LG) Taranjeet Singh Sandhu on Wednesday.

The principals also flagged unregulated vending, unsafe parks, public toilets near campuses, obscene flashing and need for more pink booths and increased police patrolling around college premises.

“Instilling a sense of security and trust among students is the primary aim. The concerns will be addressed through coordinated action by the police, civic agencies, transport department, Public Works Department (PWD), Delhi Development Authority (DDA) and Delhi Metro,” an official said.

The LG directed the PWD and MCD to repair streetlights, install high-mast lights and strengthen CCTV coverage at bus stops and other stretches used by students.

Encroachments, unauthorised structures, vendors and taxi stands around colleges will be removed and overgrown vegetation and objectionable graffiti will be cleared, officials added.
