Delhi Satya Niketan PG building collapse kills 7; High Court orders probe

A multi-storey paying guest accommodation collapsed in Delhi's Satya Niketan, resulting in seven fatalities, including five Delhi University students, and injuring five others. The Delhi Chief Minister suspended five Municipal Corporation of Delhi officials, including a deputy commissioner, while police arrested the building owner, Hariram Gupta, alongside his wife and son. The Delhi High Court ordered a high-level probe and directed municipal authorities to inspect all paying guest facilities within a week. Additionally, structural audits were mandated across student hubs such as Mukherjee Nagar, Rajendra Nagar, and Saket. A panel discussion featuring former Urban Development Secretary Dr. Sudhir Krishna addressed systemic municipal corruption, structural violations, and unauthorized constructions in Delhi and Gurugram. The segment also covers an India Today ground report detailing a severe teacher shortage in Himachal Pradesh government schools, where assembly data reveals 150 schools operate without any teachers and over 3,500 rely on a single teacher, prompting recruitment assurances from Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu.
