The Mumbai police seems to be on an overdrive to foil any possibility of a political unrest, like the Kanhaiya Kumar and Rohith Vemula uproar at campuses of higher education in the city.

Police have launched a drive to collect data on campus size, the number of buildings, the nature of courses as well as the number of students and the faculty from prominent educational institutes like the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), Vivekananda College, Vasantdada Patil College of Engineering, and Somaiya medical and engineering colleges. Deputy Commissioner of Police Shahaji Umap hinted that the drive is part of pre-emptive measures against campus unrests, a front-page report in mid-day said yesterday.
