Mumbai house: Maharashtra
home minister
An abandoned vehicle containing explosives was found this evening near India's richest
industrialist Mukesh Ambani's house in Mumbai, Maharashtra state Home Minister Anil
Deshmukh said.

"A Scorpio van with some gelatin was found at some distance from Mukesh Ambani's home in
Mumbai. The Mumbai Crime Branch is conducting an investigation into it. The truth will come
out," Deshmukh said.

Police sources said the vehicle was found on Carmichael Road and a bomb detection and
disposal squad and other police teams reached the spot immediately.

Security has been enhanced in the area and senior officers of the Mumbai Police examined the
spot.

Mukesh Ambani is the promoter of the diversified business conglomerate Reliance Industries,
one of the biggest private enterprises of India.

All universities will reopen on May 24, after Eid-ul-Fitr, Education Minister Dipu Moni
said in a press briefing this afternoon.

All halls of the university will reopen on May 17, she said.

All 1.30 lakh residential students will get vaccine by May 17, she added.

Dipu Moni also said that all teachers and employees of the public universities will be vaccinated
before resuming classes at the institutions.
No examination will be held before universities reopen, but online classes will continue, she
added.

The dates of Bangladesh Civil Service (BCS) exams will be set considering the university
reopening date and the government will consider the maximum age limit of BCS candidates
accordingly, the minister said.

The government took the decisions when many students of different universities, including
Dhaka, Jahangirnagar and Chattogram, are holding protests with the demand of reopening
university halls.

On March 17 last year, the government closed all educational institutions aiming to contain the
spread of coronavirus. The closure led to cancellation of exams, leaving academic calendars in
disarray.

The government in phases extended the closure of all educational institutions till February 28.

The universities started online classes but many students remain out of the interim education
management due to lack of digital devices and internet facilities.
