University of Delhi South Campus colleges have opened their premises for students in need of food and shelter in the aftermath of the collapse of a five-story PG building in Satya Niketan. The surrounding accommodations have been evacuated and power lines disrupted. The building which collapsed on Sunday was called ‘Hostel Daze’.
Several South Campus colleges, Atma Ram Sanatan Dharm College (ARSD), Jesus and Mary College (JMC), Sri Venkateswara, Maitreyi, and Motilal Nehru College, are offering food, temporary shelter, and safe spaces for students unable to access their PGs/flats or feeling unsafe in nearby areas like Satya Niketan
“This is a safety update, not a call for panic. If you are safe, please check on friends, classmates and fellow students who may be stranded or without accommodation,” read a post from DU today.
“We have opened the college canteen for students and made arrangements for their stay at the nearby community centre and gurdwara. We will assess the situation on Monday,” said an ARSD official.
