‘No forms, no questions—just come’: Good Samaritan’s offer to displaced students after Satya Niketan building collapse
The offer comes as several Delhi University students living in paying guest accommodations in and around Satya Niketan face uncertainty following the collapse.
A Gurgaon-based non-profit, Hemkunt Foundation, has offered shelter and food to students displaced by the deadly building collapse in Delhi's Satya Niketan area. Gurdwara Moti Bagh, part of the Hemkunt Foundation, is providing assistance to affected students with no forms or questions required, according to Harteerath Singh Ahluwalia, the foundation's leader.
The collapse of a boys' PG accommodation in the area has raised concerns about the safety and regulation of student housing, given reports of high rents and cramped living conditions. The Delhi government is intensifying safety inspections and planning regulatory frameworks for such housing, along with ordering structural audits.
Police have arrested the property owner and her family, charging them with culpable homicide and negligence for operating the PG without ensuring structural safety. Students are advised to consider the risks of staying in private PG accommodations and seek safer housing options.
