Nirma University students observe ‘Black Day’ after obscene incident, green net installed at girls' hostel

Nirma University students gathered on campus to observe a self‑declared ‘Black Day’ after a worker allegedly behaved indecently towards female residents of the university’s girls’ hostel. The protest, organized by student groups, aimed to highlight concerns over safety and respect within university premises.

In response to the incident and the ensuing student demonstration, university authorities installed a green safety net around the perimeter of the girls’ hostel. The net is intended to act as a deterrent and provide an additional layer of protection for the residents.

University officials said the measure was taken promptly to address the students’ grievances and to reassure the community that safety remains a priority. They also pledged to investigate the worker’s conduct and to review existing security protocols.

The student body plans to continue monitoring the situation and may organize further actions if they feel the response is insufficient. The incident has sparked broader discussions about campus safety across higher‑education institutions in the region.
