A small fire in the Green Technology building at Mumbai University's Kalina campus has spawned a heated discussion in varsity circles. The building is used as a centre-point to scan students' answer-sheets for On-Screen-Marking. While the fire was small and was doused immediately, senate members said the varsity should be far more careful about such things when the future of lakhs of students depends it.

Senate members said the sensitive task of scanning answer sheets was done at the building, hence it should be extremely safe. Following the incident, photos of the inside of the building show wires of air-conditioners and other services are hanging loose or going through windows because of which they need to be kept open at all times.
