Adilabad: In response to recent safety concerns, the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) has been placed under comprehensive surveillance, including installing police monitoring and CCTV cameras. This measure aims to ensure the safety and security of medicos and staff working around the clock, especially at night.
To enhance safety measures, police vehicles will patrol the slum areas adjacent to the RIMS campus during the night. Increased police surveillance will also ensure the safety and security of patients and their attendants. Nearly 600 medicos and trainee doctors reside at RIMS, Adilabad.
Additionally, extra CCTV cameras have been installed to monitor the area from all angles. Shops selling liquor in front of RIMS and near its campus will be required to close by 10 PM to prevent any untoward incidents. These enhanced security measures are expected to provide students and staff with a greater sense of security, allowing them to focus more on their educational and professional responsibilities.
The intensified police surveillance follows a memorandum from doctors to Superintendent Gause Alam, requesting increased security in light of the recent rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at a medical facility in Kolkata.
The district police will train the private security agency members guarding RIMS in mob control techniques. A police outpost, staffed in shifts with three constables, is being maintained at RIMS, and police vehicles will be stationed on the campus when available.
According to a report by the Deccan Chronicle, medicos were advised by Gause Alam to first prioritize their own safety during an attack by moving to a secure location, locking themselves in a safe place, and contacting the police or dial 100.
He noted that the police and security guards would arrive quickly to protect them from unwanted incidents. Additionally, during his discussion, Gause Alam informed medicos about anti-ragging laws and emphasized the growing prevalence of cybercrime.
K Rajender of Adilabad town suggested that the bushes on the RIMS campus be cleared. By implementing comprehensive surveillance, increasing security personnel, and enforcing stricter access controls, this initiative aims to address safety concerns and establish a secure academic environment. This approach not only ensures the safety of the campus community but also underscores a commitment to provide a safe and supportive space for medical education.
