New Delhi, July 15 (IANS) There should be absolutely no ragging when Delhi University starts its new session Thursday, police said Wednesday.
Deputy Commissioner of Police Sagar Preet Hooda said anything that leads to or is even remotely seen as promoting ragging will not be condoned.

“No incidence of ragging or conduct by any student, whether by words spoken or written or by any act which has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness a fresher or any other student or indulging in rowdy or indiscipline activity will be allowed,” Hooda said.

The anti-ragging measures were decided upon at a meeting of the university proctor, principals of colleges, wardens of hostels of Delhi University and Delhi Police.

“(It) was decided that both educational institutions and the police would work in close coordination and any incident of ragging, however trivial, would be taken seriously,” Hooda said.

The police have told owners and managers of private hostels that they will be held responsible if any ragging took place in their premises.

The police have intensified patrolling in the Delhi University campus.
