Campus security

Going for higher education means spending long time on campus. One of the issues of staying on campus till late in the evening or living on campus is security. With a large number of sexual assaults being reported on campus, it seems that the educational institutions need to make and implement harsher security laws.
It is required that strict security laws are implemented on campus and the laws regarding sexual misconduct are made discussed in the beginning of the session as well as visible notifications are placed around the campus.
A reporting body should be made where students can report any untoward incident. This body should have the power to conduct enquiry and strict actions should be taken against the guilty party. The body should work together with the local law enforcement agency and quarterly reports of any reported incidents should be sent to the enforcement agency.
No incident of sexual harassment be taken lightly. The institution should take strict action against the guilty party.
Any incident of sexual harassment involving teachers and students should be reported and the teacher should be punished for abusing his authority.
There is a need to make the campuses safe for the students. Instead of blaming the victim or ignoring the report in order to protect its reputation, the educational institution should ensure that no such incident takes place in the institute.

Freedom of movement

The freedom of movement is a basic right of a human being. Freedom of movement is an important aspect of the right of personal liberty of an individual. Article 19(1)(d) of the Constitution of India protects the freedom of movement of all citizens within the territory of India. Article 19(1)(e) provides all citizens with the right to reside and settle in any part of the territory of the country. However, like all freedoms, the freedoms of movement and settle enshrined under Article 19(1) are also subjected to reasonable restrictions. Article 19(5) provides that the State shall have the power to impose reasonable restrictions upon the freedoms of movement and residence in the interest of the general public or of those of the Scheduled Tribes. Similarly, the freedom of movement is restricted in the army areas in the interest of the security of the country. The provisions of Article 19(1)(d)/(e) do not affect the application of any law in existence or the power of the State to enact any law in order to restrict these freedoms in the interests of the aforesaid groups.
