Women police trained in martial arts will also be deployed from the Special Police Unit for Women and Children (SPUWAC) who would not only monitor sensitive points around campus but will also provide training on self defence to female students. The university has also asked students to check whether their PG accommodations have been verified by the local police for safety and security reasons.
