The construction of the new library of the Mumbai University was over a year ago, but the varsity continues to use the old one – parts of which are in shambles – causing anger among the students. "It appears that MU administration is waiting for an accident to happen to finally take the decision of shifting to the new building," said Sanjay Wairal, a former senate member.

The university had shut down the C-wing of the library after a huge chunk of the ceiling collapsed in September 2014. With monsoon approaching, the students fear the other sections of the Jawaharlal Nehru Knowledge Centre in Kalina will suffer the same fate.
