Bouncers were seen manning the entrance to the college today, allowing in only those students who furnished their college identity cards.
Sector 3 police station SHO Sukhdweep Singh said he had met with the college management regarding security on the campus, during which they asked the police to increase security at the college entrance. “Many a time, security guards are unable to stop anti-social elements from entering the premises, following which I had suggested them to hire bouncers to assist the security staff,” he said.

“Night patrolling outside the college has been increased to deter outsiders from gathering near the gate after college hours. In the past few days, we have rounded up a few persons who were let off after verification,” said a police official.
The police authorities have also requested the college to cancel hostel admission of students who had pasted posters of various outfits outside the college.
