In yet another example of neglect of infrastructure and waste of funds, an Olympic-sized (50 metres) swimming pool was never completed, and lies abandoned on the Mumbai University’s Kalina campus. The project began 17 years ago, in 2006. Besides serving as a haven for mosquitoes, the pool is also said to be home to snakes, making it dangerous for visitors and nearby slum dwellers.

Other defunct projects

This is not the only project lying defunct on the Kalina campus. Many such infrastructures built on the Kalina campus as part of its development and biodiversity projects are now in ruins.
