Q. Sir, is there enough facilities provided by the police for foreign students to extend their VISA in case of any emergency? For example, if any of their exams get postponed? Ans. Yes! Now this has been taken into consideration and more facilities are provided for foreign students. At present, this whole process of attaining Residential Permit and Extending VISA is handed over to the FRRO (Foreigners Regional Registrations Offlcer) whose offlce is in Indiranagar. They can always approach for help regarding VISA extension from the FRRO offlcer. Q. Sir, in case of any serious conflict among students in the college campus premises, can they directly approach the police? Ans. Well take it into consideration. As long as the incident took place inside the college premises, the management of the college will be dealing with it. But, if the conflict exceeds limits and any harmful incident takes place out of the college premises, it becomes a general case like any other, so the police will take it into consideration. Q. Sir, according to you, what is the main reason behind lot of youngsters getting involved in crime during college life? Ans. I would say, it is mainly because of their consumerist approach. If any person is spending more than what he earns or receives, obviously he or she may have to get familiar with other ways of earning money. According to me, this is the main reason for most youngsters to get involved in crime.
