Bengaluru: Students of the National Centre for Biological Studies protested on the GKVK campus, demanding immediate redressal of their grievances.

Student agitators said that there are many young boys and girls from across the country studying at the centre and hoodlums seem to be having a field day sexually harassing the girls.

Anti-social elements park their cars and motorbikes and consume liquor openly on the stretch of road, making it difficult for girl students to move around.

Students demanded that streetlights should be improved and police patrolling increased in sensitive areas. They also sought streetlights near the NCBS main entrance and near the railway underpass.

They also demanded extending opening timings of Ruso Park, martial arts courses at NCBS that are open to public and removing garbage on the streets to make the campus look well maintained.
