New DUSU Leaders Prioritize Student Housing After Satya Niketan Collapse
Following the September 6 Satya Niketan building collapse that killed seven people, including DU students, the newly elected Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) office-bearers, mostly from ABVP, pledged to address student accommodation issues. Vice-president Deepanshu Shokeen, elected as an independent, led protests demanding faster hostel expansion and safety audits of private PGs. The university may skip the formal oath ceremony to focus on these urgent housing concerns, with new DUSU offices set up at Prerna Bhawan.
