India, Sept. 26 -- A fter the recent gang-rape at Aastha Kunj Park, and reports of alleged stalking and sexual harassment of two first-year Delhi University postgraduate students near Hakikat Park in Mukherjee Nagar, the Delhi Development Authority has announced immediate security measures across public parks. These include comprehensive safety audits and restricting access after sunset to designated gates at parks with multiple entry points. But students living in PGs and hostels around Delhi's college campuses say surveillance may not be enough. For many, everyday harassment, indecent behaviour and objectifying stares remain a larger concern. Kritika, a student at DU's Faculty of Law, says, "The other day, my friends and I were jogging at a park near our PG in North Campus when one of us spotted a middle-aged man flashing in daylight, and that is a type of encounter that is so often told in my friends' group," she says. A month later, she came across a man masturbating in a corner. "That sight has stayed with me, as it was so traumatising that we can't even think of going to a park again, let alone that one! There were families, kids, and students everywhere, and yet someone felt comfortable doing that in broad daylight. This is a public place in the national capital that we are talking about." Roohi Tyagi, a first-year DU student living in a PG in Vijay Nagar, says young people also face moral policing. "Why can't I visit a nearby park with my male friends and sit peacefully without being made to feel like we're doing something wrong? To make matters worse, police officers come around, banging their lathis on benches and demanding we leave, even when all we're doing is sitting and chatting."...
