During the lecture an officer portioned-out a problem which they are facing by the prank calls (which are in thousands/month) of the citizens. He said; this problem is getting very swear and needs to be taken very seriously. He further shared a few cases of such prank calls which later caused the death of somebody at some-where else because that person was not entertained due to this irresponsible behaviour of the prankster.

They asked the students to come-up and play their productive role being the educated part of the society.
