Speakers at the Anti Ragging Awareness Programme, organised by the Government Medical College on Saturday appealed to the students to be aware of ragging on campuses.
Superintendent of Police KKN Anburajan said that it was unfortunate that the introductory practice among the seniors and juniors in educational institutions had slowly turned into ragging in the last two decades. Despite police and institutional authorities to curb the menace, it continues unabated.
Explaining the various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Cr. PC which deals with ragging, he said that those involved in the cases involving ragging would result in serious consequences, including imprisonment and dismissal from their colleges.
