UT Police ups security for Kashmiri students at PU, DAV & other edu centres

Chandigarh: In the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack, the UT Police has implemented a slew of security measures for Kashmiri students enrolled at Panjab University, DAV, and other educational institutions in the city.

SSP Kanwardeep Kaur held discussions with the Kashmiri student community at the police headquarters Monday.

A dedicated special assistance desk has been set up for them at the police control room in Sector 9. The public can access immediate help through emergency helpline 112 for any distress or security issues. Station house officers (SHOs) have been asked to prioritise student assistance within their jurisdictions.

Enhanced police patrols have been deployed in areas with a significant student population. The force maintains ongoing communication to strengthen community relations. SHOs personally met Kashmiri students to assure them of their security. Senior officials are actively overseeing the situation to ensure Chandigarh remains secure and harmonious for all inhabitants. The police have appealed to citizens to preserve peace and immediately report to authorities about any suspicious activities.
