"This is not the first incident...Cases like this have been taking place at different places...There is a need to work to ensure safety to all," Naik said, adding immediate steps are needed in this regard.
The Governor however expressed satisfaction with the steps taken by Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav in rushing senior officials like the DGP of state police and principal secretary (home) to the scene of the crime.
