ABVP Stages Protests Over Alleged Mismanagement at Mumbai University

Student group accuses university officials of administrative failures, mistreatment, and suppression of student voices, prompting multiple demonstrations.

• The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) protested at Mumbai University's Kalina campus over delays in issuing essential documents and alleged mistreatment of students by officials.
• ABVP claims that students raising concerns were served disciplinary notices instead of resolutions, with some facing rude behavior and obscene language from staff.
• Additional grievances include poor campus infrastructure, irregularities in hostel management, and reports of liquor bottles found on university premises.
• University officials responded to some allegations, stating that certain actions, like allowing installation of a TV and AC in a hostel room, were done following proper procedures.
• The protests were called off after assurances of a meeting with the vice-chancellor, though ABVP criticized the administration for attempting to suppress dissent through notices and warnings.
