Reports Reveal Unsafe Conditions in Delhi Student Paying Guest Accommodations
Recent reports from Delhi highlight unsafe and poorly maintained paying guest (PG) accommodations for students, particularly UPSC aspirants. Despite high rents, residents face cramped rooms, contaminated water, exposed wiring, and inadequate fire safety measures, including lack of emergency exits and narrow staircases. These conditions raise concerns about regulation and accountability following a deadly PG building collapse in Satya Niketan, where safety standards appear widely neglected.
