Overview

• All Jadavpur University hostels must be closed for the Durga Puja vacation, with the Registrar (Acting) and Pro‑Vice Chancellor directed to lock every facility within 48 hours.
• The Officer‑in‑Charge of Jadavpur Police Station must personally inspect each hostel within the following 48 hours and submit a compliance report to the court.
• The university must prevent unauthorized entry during the holidays and may seek police assistance if required, with hostels to be used only after classes resume on October 9.
• The court fixed October 15 for a meeting at Nabanna to take a final decision on campus security measures, including the CCTV plan, with a report due at the next hearing.
• The directives stem from a PIL on campus law and order citing a reported ragging‑related death last year and a March confrontation with the education minister, as the state and JU voiced reluctance over routine police presence while committing to comply.
