The Bihar Women Commission seeks hostel facilities details in Patna following the recent suspicious death of a student preparing for competitive exams. The incident has raised serious questions about security and monitoring in girls’ hostels across the city.
In the letter, the commission has asked the district administration to submit a list of all girls’ hostels operating in Patna. It has also sought clarity on how many hostels are officially registered and how many are running without approval.
The panel has requested details about basic facilities provided to students. These include food quality, drinking water, electricity, sanitation, and medical support. It has also asked whether hostels have security guards, CCTV cameras, and proper entry records.
