Against the backdrop of the Hyderabad gangrape and murder, a college here held a signature and awareness campaign on rape, and demanded stricter laws for the crime.

Around 3,000 students of the St Mira College for girls took up the initiative in which they have demanded, "Stricter laws against rapists, quicker justice for victims, more fast track courts, a strong system that delivers punishment for rapists, a more sensitised police force, greater accountability of the people we vote to power, and a clear message by the government that we will have a zero tolerance policy towards rape."
