Harassment faced by girl students in the vicinity of their colleges and in DTC buses were discussed in an all-stakeholders meeting held Tuesday.
The students of Gargi College, Jija Bai Women Polytechnic, and Kamla Nehru College raised the issues faced by them while commuting between their home and respective institutions.
"The girl students complained of frequent sexual harassment by anti-social elements around the colleges and also in DTC buses, claiming that policemen often ignored it even if it happened in front of them," said AAP MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj who convened the meeting at Gargi College.
The police officials ensured to step up vigil to prevent such incidents while the Delhi Transport Corporation(DTC) representative promised to take action in case of negligence on the part of marshals deputed in buses for women safety, he said.
