THE alleged rape of a student inside Anna University has left staff and students questioning the security measures on the campus. A section of them who TNIE spoke to on Wednesday said the campus has several CCTV cameras and security personnel, but they are hardly effective without a proper monitoring mechanism in place.

"The crime did not happen very late at night. Crimes cannot be prevented if there is no monitoring mechanism in place. Now, the cameras are of use only to see what happened in the aftermath of the incident," said a PhD student.
