The men barged onto the Gargi
College campus in South Delhi last Thursday, on the final day of a school
festival, allegedly molesting and sexually assaulting the female students en
masse, according to a statement issued by the General Body of Students.
The student group said that
“thousands” of men jumped the gates of the university, descended onto
the campus and damaged property, while police and non-teaching staff stood by
and did nothing.
“Men stood in gangs and
ogled at women, groped them, tried to feel them up, pushed them, and touched
them throughout the concert,” the statement read.
“People formed human
chains to move from one area to another. After the concert was over, the men
followed women, catcalled them, and forced them to reveal their names and
Instagram IDs.”
New Delhi police said it had
filed an official complaint against unidentified people for trespassing, as
well as assaulting and harassing women, at a Delhi college last week.
“We are in touch with the
principal of the college and are looking at CCTV footage as well,” police
spokesperson Anil Mittal said.
The Deputy Commissioner of
South Delhi Police Atul Thakur said that police were investigating claims that
officers did not take action during the alleged assaults.
“We have started our own
formal inquiry and it is being led by a senior police official,” Mr Thakur
added.
Many of the allegations of
harassment and abuse were reported to the Gargi Students’ Union through an
online form. The Union said the three-day festival, known as “Reverie
‘20,” started peacefully, before taking a “horrendous” turn on
the third day.
“It became absolutely
impossible to move in that crowd,” the union said in a statement.
The union claimed bouncers and
police “looked incompetent and indifferent” as hundreds of people
barged through the gates.
Gargi College has condemned the
“outrageous incidents” that took place during Reverie, saying that it
was committed to the security of students and would set up a “high-level
fact finding committee” to meet with the complainants and eyewitnesses.
only four states severely limit rain water storage! in most cases, they are legal! one of these states is california. do a quick internet search before making your own rain barrel to find out if you’re able to make and keep one or not, okay?
once you understand the basics, it’s easy to make a barrel that fits your budget!
here’s a super quick, rough run-down on how it goes!
Carefully cut a hole in the lid of your rain barrel. This hole should sit under your home’s downspout so the water runs right into the barrel. Cut the hole so it’s large enough to accommodate the water flow from the downspout. You’ll also want to drill a hole or two near the very top of your rain barrel.
I made a thread today to give some tips for all the protesters around the country going out and resisting, and I figured it would be helpful to share it here too. Be smart, safe, and radical.
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
