Delhi High Court Issues Notice on PIL Seeking Hostel Facilities Across DU Colleges
Following the Satya Niketan building collapse that killed seven people, the Delhi High Court issued notices to the Centre, Delhi government, and Delhi University on a PIL filed by NSUI president Vinod Jakhar. The petition seeks a comprehensive policy to provide safe, affordable hostel facilities across all DU colleges, citing a severe shortage of institutional accommodation that forces students to rely on potentially unsafe private PGs. The court scheduled the next hearing for September 25, alongside another related PIL seeking an independent probe and safety audits of PG accommodations.
