'Misleading': Govt fact checks Dipke's claim that ‘a hostel in DU South Campus has collapsed’
The Delhi government fact-checked claims on social media that a hostel in Delhi University's South Campus had collapsed. The Press Information Bureau (PIB) labeled such posts as "misleading." The building that actually collapsed was a private paying guest (PG) accommodation in the Satya Niketan area, located near South Campus, but it was not a university hostel.
The PIB urged people to verify information through reliable sources before sharing. Abhijeet Dipke, founder of the Cockroach Janta Party, had claimed a hostel in South Campus had collapsed, highlighting concerns about educational infrastructure.
