Delhi PG Crackdown: Demolitions Intensify, Student Evacuations & Unsafe Hubs
Following the building collapse tragedy in Delhi's Satya Niketan, the civic body launched a major crackdown against illegal paying guest accommodations across the national capital. Authorities surveyed over a thousand properties, demolishing 24 illegal structures and sealing seven buildings to check unauthorised floor constructions. Amid safety fears, Shaheed Bhagat Singh College opened its conference hall to shelter students who vacated unsafe premises. Additionally, civic teams acted in Mukherjee Nagar following media reports on dangerously tilted buildings. Ground reports from areas like Christian Colony highlight the grim reality of students living in congested spaces and hazardous conditions, alongside disputes over unreturned security deposits by landlords.
