The Jawaharlal Nehru University released an official press release clearing the air on the subject a day after Leftist student organizations attacked tenants of Kaveri Hostel during Ram Navami celebrations. The administration has issued an appeal to the students, urging them to “show restraint and allow the academic atmosphere at JNU to develop without any external distractions.”

The attack on Ram Navami celebrations in the Kaveri Hostel on Sunday was brought to the attention of Jawaharlal Nehru University on Monday, April 11. The JNU administration has issued an official statement condemning the ruckus after various versions of the incident emerged in the media from members of the RSS-affiliated Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) and Left-wing student organizations such as the National Students Union of India (NSUI) and the All India Students’ Association (AISA).

“On April 10, 2022, there was a skirmish between student groups on the JNU Campus.” It was Rama Navami, and the Kaveri Hostel students arranged a Hawan, to which some students objected. “The Hawan was peacefully completed after the wardens and Dean of Students attempted to calm the situation,” the statement said.

“However, some students were not pleased with this, and shortly after, at supper, a disturbance was made over there, with heated disagreements followed by an altercation between both groups in the Kaveri Hostel,” the statement said. The student committee is in charge of the mess, and the administration has no say in what is served. When there was a controversy among students, the Wardens explained the scene and published a notice stating “offering non-vegetarian food is not prohibited.”

“The warden issued a note appealing for peace and explaining concerns,” the statement said, referring to the administration’s quick actions to settle the situation. The JNU administration jumped into action right away. Later in the evening Prof. Santishree Dhulipadi Pandit, Vice-Chancellor of JNU, paid a visit to Kaveri Hostel to assess the situation. JNU has a long and illustrious history of educating and nurturing generations of students. It has traditionally been associated with scholarly and intellectual pursuits, as well as a strong culture of robust debates and discussions.”

What occurred on the night of Ram Navami?

On the occasion of Ram Navami, some members of the ABVP reportedly held a Hawan and Puja on the JNU campus on Sunday, April 10. The ABVP has accused the National Students Union of India (NSUI) and left-wing student organizations of preventing them from conducting the Hawan and Puja at the Kaveri Hostel on the JNU campus. Leftist students, on the other hand, claim that ABVP members fought with the mess management when non-vegetarian food was provided on Ram Navami day.

The celebrations ended in a hostile atmosphere, with numerous ABVP members hurt, including seven who suffered serious injuries.

Construction Projects Must Utilize Tertiary Processed Recycled Water, Under NMMC Regulations

NMMC mandates use of tertiary treated recycled water for construction projects.

The Regulation

In a major step towards water conservation, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) has made it mandatory for developers to use tertiary treated recycled water in all construction projects approved by the Town Planning Department.

The initiative aims to curb the rising demand for potable water as the city grapples with declining rainfall and increasing concerns over water scarcity. With several redevelopment projects underway, the consumption of drinking water for construction has surged, putting additional strain on resources.

To address this, NMMC is leveraging its advanced sewage treatment infrastructure. The city currently operates seven sewage treatment plants using Sequential Batch Reactor (SBR) technology. Additionally, tertiary treatment plants at Koparkhairane and Airoli utilize Ultra Filtration and Ultraviolet-Based Technology to further purify secondary treated water. This recycled water is already being supplied to industrial establishments in the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) area for non-potable use.

By enforcing the use of recycled water in construction, NMMC aims to reduce reliance on drinking water and promote sustainability. This regulation is expected to play a crucial role in preserving Navi Mumbai’s water resources for the future while ensuring responsible urban development.
