New Delhi — Following last week’s terrorist attacks in Mumbai, an Australian team of safety and risk experts from the University of New South Wales plans to travel to India’s financial capital to help academics there develop strategies for dealing with threats of terrorism, the Sydney Morning Herald reported.

The Australian university announced the visit to Mumbai, formerly Bombay, on Thursday after the University of Mumbai and the University of New South Wales signed a cooperation agreement.

The Australian university’s School of Risk and Safety Sciences has expertise in strategic risk assessment of threats like terrorism, climate change, and toxic spills, as well as the development of world-class systems to respond to disasters and gun violence.

Universities in India are also beefing up security in the wake of the terror attacks, The Times of India reported.

Delhi’s Jawaharlal Nehru University conducted a security drill on campus on Thursday. Delhi University has increased the number of guards at its various gates. And Jamia Millia Islamia University has installed closed-circuit television cameras on its campus.

Police officers in Greater Noida, a suburb of Delhi that has more than 500 private colleges, have begun a drive to verify that students hold legitimate enrollment papers and are accounted for, The Hindustan Times reported.

“Over 30,000 students are enrolled at various engineering and management colleges in Greater Noida,” said D.K. Garg, president of the Association of Greater Noida Institutions. “The colleges have been directed to get the mark sheets and other documents of these students verified from the boards concerned. The authorities have also been asked to keep a check on students who have been missing classes frequently.” —Shailaja Neelakantan
