Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday issued several directions to the departments concerned after meeting students from Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) at the Secretariat. She asked the Public Works Department to immediately start renovating all the existing hostels and expedite the construction of new ones, and instructed officials to ensure night-time safety of students by installing high-wattage LED street lights, increasing the deployment of security personnel and ensuring 24x7 CCTV surveillance.
The interaction was held four days after Ms. Gupta, along with Lieutenant-Governor V.K. Saxena and Health Minister Pankaj Kumar Singh, attended a meeting called by the MAMC Dean to discuss concerns about accommodation and security of students and doctors.
