"There are constant clashes between the security guards (proctorial board members) and the students. The guards are dressed in uniforms similar to that of the Uttar Pradesh Police (khaki), which in such cases, earns the state police a bad name," the letter said. "It is thus requested that within 46 hours, i.e. 5 pm, September 26, 2017, the look of the uniform of the security guards of the BHU should be changed to something other than what the state police officials wear," he said.
