Manipal University has set up a special security team called ‘quick reaction team’ (QRT) on its campus in Manipal.
A press release by the university said here on Monday that the 60-member team will undergo special training to control any untoward incident.
Quoting Prabhudeva Mane, Chief Operating Officer, Campus Safety, it said the team has been put together to handle unforeseen crises requiring immediate action.
Besides, it is also a confidence-building exercise for students, who can call up COO for any help on the campus. “Depending on the need, we will ensure that the required number of QRT men will reach a trouble spot in quick time to take care of the situation,” he said.
