Ceiling Collapse in Dyal Singh College Porta Cabin Highlights Infrastructure Concerns

A gypsum panel ceiling collapsed in a portable cabin classroom at Dyal Singh College, Delhi University, during a class on Wednesday, with no injuries reported. The college attributed the incident to ageing infrastructure and noted that many classes are held in old porta cabins. The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has demanded repairs within 10 days and vacated all porta classrooms. Redevelopment projects have been delayed despite fines and penalties, and the college is working on infrastructure improvements.
