On September 6, a five-storey boys' PG accommodation collapsed in Satya Niketan near Delhi University's South Campus, killing seven people.
Whether you're a student renting a PG or a parent paying for one, the collapse shows that unapproved extra floors can be deadly. Renters in dense hubs like Satya Niketan face safety risks that rent prices and locations don't reveal.
Check that any PG or rental building you use has sanctioned plans matching its actual number of floors before signing or renewing.
