Lady Shri Ram College in Delhi has shifted to virtual mode for classes after a minor girl was allegedly assaulted by three men in Aastha Kunj Park on Monday evening. The park, located near Kalkaji Mandir, is situated just about 2 kilometres from the college campus.
The decision to move classes online reflects the college administration's response to the incident and concerns among the student community. The exact duration of the virtual classes is expected to be determined by college authorities in coordination with relevant stakeholders.
The alleged assault has raised safety concerns in the area, with the incident occurring in a public space near an educational institution. Local police have reportedly registered a case following the complaint, with investigation efforts underway.
The shift to online instruction affects the college's regular academic calendar and comes amid broader conversations about women's safety in Delhi. College authorities have not yet issued a detailed statement regarding the duration or scope of the transition to virtual learning.
