As the death toll in the PG building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan rises to seven, India Today visited other student accommodations in the same neighbourhood. The ground reality check was concerning. One of the buildings housing a PG, similar to the one that collapsed, was found to have no emergency fire exit and only a single staircase. The visibly dilapidated building also had a tangled web of wires and electricity meters on the ground floor, raising further concerns about safety. A young man said single beds in PG accommodations in the area start at Rs 15,000. Despite the steep rents, he claimed that many PGs lack basic facilities, with even meals being treated as an "extra facility" and not included in the rent.
A video has surfaced capturing a woman's heart-wrenching reaction in the immediate aftermath of the building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan, which claimed the lives of at least six people. The clip was recorded from a residential building directly across the street from the PG hostel that collapsed. The woman filming can be heard crying uncontrollably as she says, "Kitne saare bacche hain... God... Hamare saamne hi ho gayi poori dharashayi... Oh God...Hum kahan reh rahe hain (There are so many children... God... It completely collapsed right in front of us... Oh God...Where are we living)." Satya Niketan, located near Delhi University's South Campus, has a significant population of students who live in rented accommodations and PGs there.
A fresh CCTV footage from opposite the collapsed Satya Niketan building shows a shopkeeper making a narrow escape as the five-storey structure comes crashing down.

A sudden tremor-like shake sent residents rushing out of nearby buildings on Sunday, only to find the student accommodation building, Hostel Daze, reduced to a heap of rubble. Locals immediately began clearing concrete slabs in a frantic search for those trapped inside. The building, located in the densely packed area near Delhi University's South Campus, had around 15 rooms, with two to three students reportedly staying in each. Two NDRF teams comprising around 70 personnel are currently engaged in the rescue operation, using canines, cutting equipment and other technical tools. The teams are working alongside the Delhi Fire Service, Delhi Police and local residents.

Ghaziabad witnessed heavy traffic jams on Thursday evening, a day before Raksha Bandhan, as a surge in vehicles put major roads under pressure. Long queues were reported on the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, with videos from nearby high-rise residential societies showing vehicles backed up along the expressway. Traffic on NH-09 between Dasna and Mehrauli Cut also moved at a slow pace. One of the major bottlenecks was at the Delhi-Meerut Expressway exit, where the road narrows from eight lanes to two, creating heavy pressure as vehicles merge near the turn. Despite a traffic advisory issued ahead of the festival, the evening rush was further intensified by office-goers returning home and people travelling for Raksha Bandhan. Traffic was also affected at Lal Kuan, GT Road, Ambedkar Road and Meerut Tiraha. Traffic police teams were deployed across key routes, while diversions were implemented at some points.
