Most of the people get into hostels for the purpose of education. Among those, women are likely to face challenging situations. In the last few years, several crimes have been taken place in schools, hostels, and other areas. A step was taken by Cyberabad police commissionerate to enhance “safety” and to reduce such crimes. The ten commandments introduced by them for safer stay included, access control, availability of compound walls, 24x7 security guard, visitor’s register, CCTV’s, notice boards, suggestion box, fire extinguisher, first-aid box and Id proofs of staff. In spite of the availability of some of the item mentioned above, it was observed that the level of awareness on possible risks was low.
