A prominent medical college in Kerala has expelled a group of senior students involved in a brutal ragging incident that left first-year students severely distressed. The college administration responded swiftly to the incident, expelling the seniors involved and vowing to implement more stringent measures to combat ragging on campus.
The expulsion comes after an investigation revealed that the senior students had subjected the newcomers to intense mental and physical harassment. The students’ actions have been widely condemned, with many people calling for stronger legal action and reforms to ensure that such behavior is not repeated.
The Kerala government has expressed concern over the incident and promised to introduce new measures to prevent ragging. It is expected that the state will roll out more anti-ragging awareness campaigns in schools and colleges and enforce harsher penalties for those caught engaging in such behavior.
The expulsion of the seniors has been hailed by many as a necessary step, though some believe that more needs to be done to address the deeper issues surrounding ragging in educational institutions.
