JNUSU Calls for Structural Audit After Ceiling Fan Collapse at JNU Hostel
The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU) has raised safety concerns after a ceiling fan collapsed in a room at Tapti Hostel, with no students present at the time. JNUSU alleges ongoing neglect of campus infrastructure, citing leaking ceilings, crumbling walls, and unsafe hostels like Tapti and Mahi Mandavi, which were reportedly declared unfit for accommodation. Despite repeated student protests and petitions, the university administration has not undertaken significant repairs. The union demands a structural audit of all hostels and buildings to prevent potential accidents.
