Odisha Governor Dr Hari Babu Kambhampati has urged immediate measures to establish alcohol-free campuses and enhance security protocols across educational institutions.
Expressing deep concern over the rising incidents of violence against women, the Governor emphasised the need for expedited legislation to curb such crimes. He described recent tragic events in Balasore, Gopalpur, and Durgapur as “unfortunate” and stressed that the fear of stringent punishment would deter perpetrators. “If there is fear of punishment, criminals will hesitate to commit offences.
