The Delhi administration is setting up an online portal to record safety details of postgraduate hostels, with plans to inspect 100 PG accommodations within three days, focusing on CCTV, regulations and amenities.
The Delhi government has announced the development of a dedicated online portal that will capture comprehensive safety information for postgraduate (PG) hostels across the city. The platform is intended to provide real‑time data on security measures, infrastructure standards and compliance with existing regulations.
Under the new initiative, officials will conduct inspections of 100 PG accommodations within a three‑day window. Teams from the municipal and housing departments will visit each site, verify the presence of mandated safety features and update the portal with their findings.
Key aspects of the inspection will include verification of CCTV coverage, assessment of fire‑safety equipment, and review of basic amenities such as water supply and sanitation. The portal will make this information publicly accessible, aiming to increase transparency and reassure students and parents about the safety of PG housing in Delhi.
Authorities expect the digital repository to streamline future monitoring, enable quicker corrective actions and serve as a model for other urban centres facing similar housing safety challenges.
