Mumbai University students protested outside the Knowledge Resource Centre (KRC) library on September 11, demanding improvements in basic facilities. Students complained of a malfunctioning air-conditioning system that has been inoperable for over a year, making it difficult to study comfortably for extended periods. Inadequate sanitation, particularly in the washrooms, was another major concern raised by the protesters.
They argued that regular cleaning and maintenance of the facilities were essential for maintaining a healthy campus environment. The students also highlighted the unreliability of the Wi-Fi network at the library, stating that poor internet connectivity hindered their ability to conduct academic research and access online study materials.
In addition to these issues, students demanded that the university extend library hours, especially during examination periods, to provide more access to study spaces. The protest, organized by Mumbai University students, emphasized that adequate ventilation, clean washrooms, reliable internet, and accessible study facilities were essential campus requirements rather than optional amenities.
The university was urged to address these problems promptly to ensure a conducive environment for students' academic pursuits.
