The MCD has stepped up action against unauthorised construction and PG properties across Delhi after the Satya Niketan building collapse. The drive includes surveys, demolitions, sealing and checks on safety and building norm violations.

A deadly building collapse in Satya Niketan has pushed Delhi University students out of nearby PGs as parents rush to bring them home. The fallout has sharpened concerns over costly, poorly maintained student housing and scarce safer options near South Campus.

DUSU campaigner Krishna Bhardwaj recounts heroic rescues from a building collapse, highlighting the urgency and tragedy of the situation.

A five-storey PG building in Satya Niketan collapsed on Sunday, leaving students trapped and calling for help from the debris. Residents joined rescue teams amid claims of basement work, a weak foundation and wider safety concerns around old PG buildings in the area.
