A big problem has come up at Savitribai Phule Pune University’s boys hostel where students are facing trouble with bedbugs. These tiny insects have made life very difficult for students who are trying to study for their important exams.
The hostel rooms have become very dirty, and this has led to many bedbugs living in the students’ beds, mattresses, and wooden furniture. Many students are getting bitten by these bugs, which causes itching and red marks on their skin. Because of this, students can’t sleep properly at night and find it hard to focus on their studies.
Making things worse, a student was also bitten by a rat in the hostel. This shows that the hostel has both bedbug and rat problems. Students are very worried about their health and safety in such dirty conditions.
Even though students have complained many times to the university officials, not much has been done to solve the problem. The university has only tried small solutions that don’t work for long, and this has made students very angry. They want the university to take bigger steps to clean up the hostel properly.
The students have made a list of things they want the university to do. They want professionals to come and remove all the bedbugs and rats. They also want the hostel to be cleaned properly and want regular cleaning to happen every month. If the university doesn’t listen to them, the students are planning to protest.
This problem is making SPPU look bad as a good university. Students need a clean and safe place to live and study. If the university doesn’t fix these problems quickly, it won’t only harm the students’ health but also damage the university’s good name. The university needs to take action fast to help its students live in a clean and healthy environment.
The situation has attracted attention from Pune local news outlets, putting additional pressure on university administrators to address the infestation immediately.
