A four-decade-old PG building in Satya Niketan collapsed during renovation work on 6 September. The deaths of seven people and the inquiry have sharpened focus on unsafe, unauthorised student housing in Delhi.

An India Today ground investigation found PG rooms still being offered near the Satya Niketan collapse site despite visible safety concerns. The findings have sharpened questions over unauthorised construction, weak oversight and the shortage of safe student housing in Delhi.
