The Indian Opinion
Large relief sums after a tragedy often create a narrative of government responsiveness, but the real test is whether the Jnanabharathi campus will now fix the safety gaps that led to this death. A routine auto accident inside a university should not be a death sentence. The number of speed bumps and traffic signs on campus in the next month will tell us more than any cheque ever can.
