NDTV’s investigation into private guest houses in Delhi’s Kamla Nagar reveals that owners focus on amenities while neglecting safety measures. The report highlights a gap in security protocols across the area’s PGs.
NDTV reporters visited several private guest houses (PGs) in Delhi’s Kamla Nagar to assess living conditions. While each host highlighted amenities such as Wi‑Fi, air‑conditioning and kitchen facilities, none mentioned security arrangements.
The investigation found that most PGs lack basic safety features such as CCTV cameras, secure entry systems or trained security staff. In several cases, doors could be opened from the outside and fire exits were not clearly marked.
Local residents expressed concern that the absence of visible security could expose tenants to theft or other risks. The report calls for stricter enforcement of safety regulations in the city’s shared accommodation sector.
City officials have yet to respond, but the findings suggest a need for clearer guidelines to protect renters in Delhi’s rapidly expanding PG market.
