Delhi University Students and Officials Call for Safer, Expanded Hostel Accommodation After Satya Niketan Collapse
The collapse of a five-storey building in Delhi's Satya Niketan, killing seven including five Delhi University students, has raised concerns about student housing safety.

Students and college officials emphasize the urgent need for more safe, affordable hostel facilities. Institutions like Miranda House have begun structural audits, while students demand increased university-provided housing to reduce dependence on potentially unsafe private options.
