Varanasi: The iconic Banaras Hindu University, which has been hit by student unrest since 21 September following an alleged incident of sexual assault, wore a curfew-like look today but its troubles will not be over as long as campus security is not taken seriously by the university authority. Earlier, this year on 24 January, students had protested against “eve-teasing” following which a female cell was constituted on the orders of the V-C. A helpline number 8004922000 was also announced but two days later, an inebriated police constable allegedly eve-teased two female students of IIT-BHU. “Let alone female students, even teachers like me get eve-teased in the classroom, while driving or just moving about in the campus,” she told 101reporters.
