The SPPU has fined Abeda Inamdar College ₹10 lakh for a tragic drowning incident involving 14 students during a 2016 picnic
Recently, the Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) decided to impose a fine of ₹10 lakh on Abeda Inamdar College. This decision came after a long wait of nine years.
The university’s management council discussed the situation and found the college responsible. They mentioned that if the college doesn’t comply, further action might be necessary.
Parents of the students have been pushing for accountability all these years. They believe the college didn’t properly warn the kids about the dangers of high tides.
While the college claimed they had safety measures in place, parents felt those warnings weren’t communicated effectively. It’s been a tough journey for everyone involved, and the hope is that this fine will lead to better safety practices in the future.
