Five-year-old raped in Murshidabad, accused arrested
Another horrific incident has come to light in West Bengal, following the tragic murder of a Class 12 girl student in Sandeshkhali.
Two scientists from the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) visited the Jadavpur University campus in West Bengal’s Kolkata on Tuesday to check the possibilities of eliminating ragging from the campus by using technology.
The visit came after West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose appealed to ISRO chairman S Somanath seeking help regarding the same in the backdrop of the death of a first-year undergraduate student at the varsity.
The two scientists held a long discussion with the Vice-Chancellor.
The scientists took an overview of the Image Recognition Double Token MSG Aadhaar System for outsiders, and how to install RFID CCTV Camera to ensure security.
The scientists inspected all gates and other places including the open-air theatre on the premises of the University to suggest what kind of technology will have to be used, said the university officials.
