The district collector of Mumbai has directed the Mumbai University to return R2 crore that was allotted for the construction of Dr Rammanohar Tripathi Hindi Bhasha Bhawan on the Kalina campus. Though the stone-laying ceremony was conducted three years ago, no construction took place after that.

This was revealed in a reply to an RTI query filed by activist Anil Galgali. On February 13, the district collector issued notice to the University to return the fund as the entire grant was unused.
