In recent days, multiple incidents of tree felling have been reported at Savitribai Phule Pune University.

On February 4, 2025, a massive fire broke out in the forested area in front of the university’s Registrar’s residence.

It remains unclear whether the fire was accidental or deliberately set, and an investigation is necessary to determine the cause.

Strict action must be taken against those responsible.

“We question whether the university administration is deliberately allowing such incidents to happen,” said Rahul Sasane, President of the University Student Struggle Action Committee, Maharashtra.
