Ragging: The shame of campuses
Ragging continues to plague many college campuses in the state despite all attempts made by authorities to curb it.
Last week, senior students of a reputed engineering college in the city attacked juniors in the hostel with chilli powder after forcibly undressing them.
Such incidents of physical abuse and stripping have been reported from many other professional colleges in the city as well as Dundigul, Keesargutta, Vijayawada and Guntur.
However, most college managements usually prefer to hush up such incidents for fear that they would mar their reputation.
There are stringent provisions against those who indulge in ragging in the AP Prohibition of Ragging Act 1997. Cases can also be booked under relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code. However, the strength of the law has not succeeded in ending the pernicious practice.
