Principals asked to assist police in preventing ragging

December 27, 2014 10:33 am | Updated 10:34 am IST - VILLUPURAM:

With a view to protecting the juniors from the scourge of ragging in colleges, the district administration has called upon the principals to work in close coordination with the police.

At a meeting held here recently, District Collector V. Sampath told the principals to keep a watch on the behaviour of students, particularly that of seniors towards the new entrants.

If they come across any incidence of ragging they could immediately pass on the message to the Deputy Superintendents of Police concerned.

The DSPs would initiate appropriate action against those indulging in ragging.

The Collector gave the list of the DSPs and their contact numbers to the principals to facilitate speedy communication.

The DSPs could be reached on the following cell phone numbers:

Ulundurpet DSP Sankar — 9443118039, Tindivanam DSP Silambarasan — 9498153000, Kallakurichi DSP Madhivanan — 9442408077, Thirukkoilur DSP Rajendran — 9498107321, Villupuram DSP Seetharaman — 9443269697 and Ginjee DSP Muralidharan — 9444163763.

Round-the-clock

The Collector said principals could also contact the Special Crime Branch round-the-clock over the numbers — 04146—222172 and 04146-222355.
