Eve teasers nuisance for girl students Ludhiana January 18 The students and faculty of the college are a harassed lot due to unregulated traffic at the time of closure of the college. At times, it takes about half an hour in the car to move a few yards. Though time and again the problem has been brought to the notice of the traffic police but to no avail. Ugly incidences of eve-teasing have also been taking place in the past. Traffic has always been a problem outside majority of the girls' colleges in the city, particularly outside the Khalsa College for Women, the Government College for Women, Guru Nanak Girls College and the Guru Nanak Khalsa College for Women. The girls hold the 'geri' route of boys responsible for this nuisance. They said boys harassed them by making undignified comments on them. "They park the vehicles in a manner that we have to request them to remove them. They do it deliberately so that we talk to them. We try to avoid them as it is a routine affair now", said a student of BA II of KCW. These days the boys, specially the students of the Gujranwala Guru Nanak Khalsa College for Boys (which is a few yards away from KCW) gather in a small park outside KCW "to get the warmth of the sun". The parking of two-wheelers and four-wheelers on roads create problem for school-going children as their vans, autos get stuck due to wrong parking. "At times, the traffic police is deputed during peak hours to regulate the traffic but they are not regular. We wait for 15-20 minutes after the college gets over and come out when boys disperse from the scene", said another student of
KCW.
