It has been decided to instal more CCTVs to bring the entire hospital and nursing college under surveillance; continuous monitoring will be carried on to trace any kind of suspected movement or activities. All the police phone numbers will be kept on display so that during any kind of unnatural activities any one can communicate with the different rank and file of police officials.”
At present, there are 180 students in the nursing college. They often take practical clinical lessons within the hospital, hence the nursing college will also be kept under CCTV surveillance.
