Fear closer home for 1st-year students staying off campus
At least 70 first-year students at Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute are unsettled by recent violence. Many have not received hostel accommodation, forcing them to live in unsafe rented spaces nearby. Students face fear of local attacks following violent incidents involving outsiders during a recent protest. Attempts to address infrastructure problems for housing have faced delays and revisions over the past three years.
