Delhi’s building safety is a ticking time bomb.
Watching media coverage of the PG collapse, imagine if these reporters walked through Sadar Bazar or Chawri Bazar.
The encroachment & dilapidated structures would be the real breaking news.

What a shame!
Almost 24 hours have passed, and the debris is still not fully cleared.
Even after a full day, we’re not sure if everyone has been rescued.
Is this a joke to the Delhi Government?
Hundreds of people standing on top of the rubble of collapsed building putting additional weight on those crushed and maybe alive underneath because everyone wants to be a superhero on insta reels. India’s disaster management protocol is truly the worst.
2023 — Mukherjee Nagar ke Sanskriti IAS wali building me aag lagi, darjano students injured hue. Us waqt Delhi Govt me AAP thi aur MCD me bhi AAP thi. (The Indian Express)
2024 — Old Rajinder Nagar ke Rau’s IAS Study Circle ke basement me pani bharne se 3 students ki jaan chali gayi. Us waqt bhi Delhi Govt me AAP thi aur MCD me bhi AAP thi.
Lekin mera point kisi ek political party ko bachana ya dosh dena nahi hai.
Sarkar kisi ki bhi ho, ground par zimmedari fix honi chahiye — local authorities ki, local police ki, MCD ke responsible officers aur workers ki, building/coaching owners ki, aur un sabki jinka kaam rules aur safety norms ko enforce karna hai.
Jab tak har tragedy ke baad ye political “monkey dance” chalta rahega, kuch nahi badlega.
Kal AAP ki sarkar thi to BJP protest kar rahi thi. Aaj BJP ki sarkar hai to kal Congress ya AAP protest karegi. Phir kabhi Congress ki sarkar aayegi to BJP aur AAP protest karenge.
15-20 students still trapped inside. And look at the speed of work. No machineries, no heavy equipments to remove debris, just manual works and few JCBs
It’s almost disastrous to see this happening right in the National Capital 💔💔
I'm sure the Delhi govt will soon order a structural audit of all old buildings.
That’s just how the sarkari system works. Pul gir gaya, order bridge audit. Aag lag gayi, order fire audit. School ki chhat gir gayi, order school structural audit. Dawai se bachhe mar gaye, order pharma companies audit. Prevention ka system hi nahi hai. Sarkari kaam balidaan maangta hai.
But the irony is, kaam balidaan ke baad bhi nahi hota. All these knee-jerk audit drives become yet another opportunity for the sarkari naukars to earn more. "Oopar se pressure hai" bol kar they demand more and let the defaulters continues to operate unabated.
India’s Municipal corruption is unchecked.
It’s a pity that an entity that affects the quality of our lives the most. There has been barely any effort from the Modi govt to reform this body. Every monsoon this claims 100s of lives. This petty corruption. Nauseating.
India has just ranked 176th out of 177 countries in Yale's 2026 Environmental Performance Index (EPI). Indicators across climate change, environmental health, and ecosystem vitality.
JPSC-JSSC में इतना ज़्यादा भ्रष्टाचार है कि आप सोच भी नहीं सकते। मीडिया में जो भी बातें सामने आई हैं, वे घोटाले का 10% भी नहीं हैं। अब पेपर लीक करने वाले गिरोह की ताक़त देखिए, उन्होंने मीडिया की आवाज़ को दबाना शुरू कर दिया है।
'द भारतमित्र' नाम के एक लोकल YouTube चैनल का अकाउंट सस्पेंड कर दिया गया है; यह चैनल JPSC और JSSC घोटालों पर लगातार स्टोरीज़ कर रहा था और इसमें शामिल लोगों के नाम उजागर कर रहा था। @The_Bharatmitra
Shaheen is one of the finest journalists I came across in Delhi.
It’s shameful, but not at all surprising what @DelhiPolice has done.
Shaheen, stay strong and keep your spirits high. Iss nautanki ka time khatam hone waala hai.
