Satya Niketan PG collapse most unfortunate; MCD, DU responsible too: Delhi HC

The Delhi High Court described the collapse of the Satya Niketan paying guest (PG) building as 'most unfortunate,' expressing concern over the lack of adequate accommodation for outstation students and holding both the building owners and local authorities accountable. The incident occurred during repair work at the PG facility located near Delhi University's South Campus, resulting in seven deaths and multiple injuries. The court emphasized that the responsibility for the tragedy extended beyond just the building owners, criticizing the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) and Delhi University (DU) for failing to provide sufficient housing options for students reliant on private PG accommodations. The court ordered intensified rescue efforts and requested that relevant authorities submit their responses to the public interest litigation (PIL) within 10 days. The case will be reviewed again on September 25.
