Delhi Building Collapse Sparks Safety Probe as Students Protest

A multi‑storey building in Delhi collapsed early this week, killing several occupants and injuring many others. The structure had been declared unsafe after a previous incident, vacated, and later re‑occupied without clear evidence of structural clearance.
Local authorities have opened an investigation to determine how the building was allowed to be inhabited again and whether mandatory safety inspections were bypassed.
Student organisations representing nearby colleges staged a sit‑in outside the municipal office, demanding a transparent probe and stricter enforcement of building codes.
Officials said a technical team is reviewing the site and that any violations will be pursued under existing safety regulations.
