There are 10 functional girls hostels in SPPU with approximately 1,700 resident students. Poorva is one among the many residents who shared similar experiences of moral policing by the hostel guards.
SPPU Vice Chancellor Suresh Gosavi said, "Our university is a prestigious institute with students from all over the country and the world coming to study here. There have been some disturbances in the academic environment due to various reasons and we intend to address them in a proper way.”
Two students of an SPPU-affiliated college of the city had come to the university to visit the exam department. However, they were refused entry at the gate.
The order, which cites 'disruption to the university's educational ecosystem' due to recent turn of events, imposes a ban on gathering of two or more persons, sloganeering, holding rallies and entry to anyone else other than students and staff.
