Delhi Government to Launch Portal and Inspect PG Accommodations for Student Safety
Following a fatal building collapse in Satya Niketan, the Delhi government is launching an online portal to map student paying guest (PG) accommodations and will inspect 100 identified cases over three days to assess safety and legal compliance. Chaired by Education Minister Ashish Sood, the High-Powered Committee aims to strengthen safety standards and develop a regulatory framework. A sub-committee will explore legal relaxations to facilitate safe PG operations near educational hubs. The portal will initially collect basic accommodation details to aid regulation and student safety.
