“It’s disheartening to see such neglect of study centres at the Savitribai Phule Pune University. We demand these space reopened, cleaned, and made accessible to students,” said Akshay Kamble, state secretary, NSUI.

Sunil Bhandage, incharge, Annabhau Sathe Study Centre, said, “We currently function at the Marathi department as these centres are unclean and not used for many months. The university has allotted space for us in the language department, and we’ve been regularly conducting discussions and programmes.”
