According to the students, these incidents are happening because there are no CCTV cameras are installed. So, for the thief, it is easy to steal things outside the examination halls. Students are demanding provision of CCTV cameras in each corridor of all the departments. Chairperson of the economics department Upinder Sahwney says, “We are not responsible for the belongings of students. Such thefts were last heard 15- 20 years ago.”The students of the University say that they would soon write a letter to the Vice-Chancellor and the Registrar regarding the same.
