ABVP demands action as TDS levels in coolers soar

New Delhi: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has raised concerns over the deteriorating water quality in the Delhi University’s Central Library. With the Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels exceeding 300 in some water coolers, students are compelled to consume contaminated water. ABVP submitted a memorandum to the head librarian, urging immediate action on the matter. Secretary Soumya Verma emphasised the library’s prestigious status but lamented its decline, citing inadequate books, seating arrangements, and now, poor water quality. The ABVP demanded the installation of purifiers and provision of clean drinking water for students and faculty to ensure student welfare in the revered institution.
