Following a NEET aspirant’s baffling death, Patna’s Shambhu Girls Hostel is history—shuttered indefinitely with its owner’s license incinerated. DGP Vinay Kumar’s mandate from the top echelons ensures she won’t resurface in the hostel business. It’s a bold stroke in Bihar’s crusade for secure student sanctuaries.
The scandal ignited a firestorm, but proactive governance had already drafted ironclad rules for girls’ hostels and lodges statewide.
Compulsory enrollment with detailed dossiers at local women’s police units enables lightning-fast responses. Non-stop female oversight, vetted teams of guards and domestics—check.
Ubiquitous cameras monitoring every nook, retaining evidence for 30 days. Male-free zones in sleeping quarters. Pristine hygiene, dazzling lights, bombproof doors, ironclad grilles—no compromises.
Incoming guests? Fully documented in ledgers. Nightly biometrics for all. Walls plastered with 112, thana, helpline, and brigade intel; hands-on 112 app sessions for girls.
With Patna as a coaching cauldron, these upgrades tackle parental panic head-on. Shambhu’s demolition is the opening salvo in a sustained enforcement drive. Bihar pledges a fortified frontier for its daughters’ dreams, minus the dangers.
