The University of Pune (UoP), to strengthen vigil in and around its 410-acre campus to prevent any kind of security threat, is all set to go hi-tech. The move was initiated after the recent killing of a security guard near the varsity’s main gate on May 3.

The UoP’s security department recently submitted a proposal to the administration, which includes a totally automated approach towards strengthening campus security.u00a0If the submitted proposal is accepted, then not a single visitor will be allowed to enter the campus without being given a valid visitor’s card. And once their work is over, visitors will have to submit their cards at the specific gate through which they had entered the campus. u00a0At present, the security department is busy compiling data of students, teaching and non-teaching staff on the UoP campus.u00a0
