Satya Niketan building collapse exposes student housing risks
A five-storey building in Delhi's Satya Niketan collapsed on September 6, killing seven people. The incident has highlighted unsafe housing conditions for students in the capital. Demand for affordable accommodation near institutions far outstrips supply, the report says.
ContextContext: Many students in Delhi rent rooms in older buildings near universities, often because cheap, nearby housing is scarce. Local civic bodies enforce building safety rules, so tenants usually have little control over structural checks.
