Tribune News Service Amritsar March 8 After the recent clash between current and former students at Government Medical College here earlier this month the college authorities have brought in strict entry norms for outsiders. The authorities have also banned the entry of city residents who used to visit for jogging and walks in the morning or evening hours. They have also banned the entry of courier and food delivery boys inside the college and hostel campus. The college is also keeping a check on students — boys and girls — sitting in cars parked inside. As per orders visitors would have to fill in their identity details and purpose of visit while entering the college. Students and employees too would be required to furnish their identity cards. A student at the college said: “Stopping the entry of food delivery boys is unjustified as students have to order food from outside. It seems the orders are more to harass students as they had been demanding action against outsiders.” The decision to ban the entry of early morning joggers has also not gone down well with nearby residents. “When has an elderly who has gone to the campus for a morning walk created any trouble? The city does not have many open spaces. If the college authorities are concerned they should charge a nominal fee from joggers and issue them cards” said an elderly demanding that joggers should not be stopped.
