Delhi Police and Housing Association Flag 56 PGs in North Campus After Satya Niketan Collapse

By DU Beat September 19, 2026

Delhi Housing Association and Police flag and summon 56 PG owners in North Campus along with documents for security risks and safety hazards.

Post the collapse in Satya Niketan, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has been proactive in striking out strict regulations for PGs and other forms of housing accommodations. Delhi Police have served notices to at least 56 paying guest (PG) accommodations in Kamla Nagar, Malka Ganj, and Bungalow Road, directing operators to submit building, fire, and safety records as part of an audit following the Satya Niketan building collapse.

These neighbourhoods are among the most populous student accommodation hubs near the north campus area in North Delhi. These notices were issued by the Roop Nagar Police Station, seeking sanctioned building plans and occupancy records.

According to police officers, this procedure is part of a wider exercise to identify unauthorised constructions, overcrowding and serious safety lapses across these student neighbourhoods. The action follows the collapse of a five-storey PG in Satya Niketan on September 6 that killed seven people, including five DU students.

According to a notice issued by the Station House Officer accessed by The Tribune, PG operators and owners have been asked to summon and present ownership and development records of their accommodations and valid clearances from civic agencies. These include the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), Delhi Development Authority (DDA), Delhi Fire Service and Delhi Police.

The notices further seek details of fire-safety arrangements, including fire-safety certificates, firefighting equipment, emergency exits, staircases and escape routes. Under structural and fire safety requirements, police have sought a “valid fire safety certificate/fire NOC”, along with the “sanctioned building plan”, “site/floor plan” and “occupancy/completion certificate”. Operators have also been asked to submit the “latest structural safety/stability certificate, ALL WHEREVER APPLICABLE”.

Currently, the Delhi Police are reviewing and flagging unauthorised modifications and unchecked expansions in student living areas. The notice supports the permission for “any additional floor, basement, mezzanine, room, terrace or other portion being used for accommodation or any other commercial activity”.

For women’s safety, PG owners housing female students in North Campus have been asked to provide details of female caretakers. Where no female warden or caretaker is deployed, the notice requires owners or managers to submit a written declaration identifying the person responsible for safety, assistance and emergency response during each shift. The audit also covers security arrangements, with owners asked to provide details of CCTV cameras and security guards, as well as a “self-attested Xerox copy of the complete Visitor Register for the preceding 15 days”.

As per the notice, Delhi Police has warned that failure to comply with the current conditions could lead to seizure, and civic agencies might seal the accommodations instantly. A police officer familiar with the exercise claimed that a large majority of PG operators in the area lacked the required paperwork.

“About 95% of them do not have the required documents or are not compliant with safety norms. We are going case by case and deciding the course of action.”

The police exercise has carried out a separate pan-Delhi survey by the MCD. The civic body identified 52 dilapidated buildings operating as PGs on the first day of its survey and has so far identified 1,120 PG units housing 20,481 people.

The survey and flagging exercise being undertaken by the housing and security departments of Delhi illustrates the grave underdevelopment and lack of infrastructural wellness in student accommodations across the whole city. Thousands of students live with these fatal security risks every day. With the measures being taken by officials and the government’s promise to create accommodations for 10000 students of Delhi University, students and their potential may finally be relieved.

Why Don’t the Students Show Up to Vote in the DUSU Elections?

By DU Beat September 18, 2026

The Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections might be the liveliest time of the year for students. Every September the colleges turn into a battle ground (both symbolic and literal). Campaigners flood the streets of north campus with a plethora of expensive cars. The sidewalks, completely covered with pamphlets. Getting celebrities to campaign for the candidates, offering free food, even liquor bottles to students in exchange of their votes, are just to name a few.

Despite all these efforts, the voter turnout in the past three to four elections has struggled to keep up to even 40%. That means that not even half of the eligible students show up to caste their vote. Observing the trends of past five DUSU elections, there is an evident drop in the 2024 elections where the turnout only reached 35.2% reaching the lowest ever turnout in the past decade, with the 2018 having a voter turnout of 44.46%, the highest voter turnout in the past 13 years.

DU BEAT SURVEY DATA

Three things stand out. First, 2018 marks the high point, after which the turnout could never reach that figure. It is also a fact worth noticing that even the highest turnout is lower than 45%. Second, the three-year gap (2020–22) likely disrupted continuity. Although the election in 2023 saw a partial rebound to 42%, but, 2024’s collapse to 35% suggests the rebound didn’t hold. Third, 2025’s uptick to 39% still sits below every pre-pandemic hinting that this might be the new normal for the next few elections.

One common explanation for this is the way polling day is treated. It is declared a university holiday, which many students treat as a day off. Outstation students often prefer travelling home for the weekend rather than queuing to vote, while others spend the day with friends.

In a survey conducted among Delhi University students, DU Beat sought to identify the key factors for the low voter turnout and the reasons why students do not show up to vote in the DUSU elections.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY

DU BEAT SURVEY DATA

The students gave multiple reasons for not showing up to vote. Out of those responses, the 5 most popular responses were:

Not in city/campus that day – 24%
Elections felt unsafe – 22%
Don’t believe it makes a difference – 19%
No convincing party/candidate – 18%
Not interested in student politics – 17%

Out of these, the most popular response was that the students were either not in the city, or in the campus. To be fair, treating the election day as a day off is quite common, but this reason can also be seen as a way of students trying to be apolitical and very well linked to all other factors, that one of the reasons students decide to not come to the campus, that day might be because of the other reasons, such as being unconvinced by the candidates, or feeling unsafe.

The most serious and publicly documented reason for low turnout is that students feel unsafe coming to campus to vote. A recent example is the clash at Satyawati College during campaigning on Tuesday, where two students were injured and hospitalised and two vehicles were damaged after a quarrel broke out between rival groups. Correspondents from DU Beat also witnessed a violent clash that occurred outside the faculty of arts on Wednesday. Violent outbreaks are not an isolated occurrence, they recur in election after election. In one instance, then-DUSU President Ronak Khatri was accused of storming Kirori Mal College with nearly 40 outsiders, causing chaos and panic among students and triggering further violence. Such incidents raise serious questions about enforcement—despite stricter election guidelines being introduced year after year, violent clashes remain largely unaffected. The result is a climate of fear in which many students feel that showing up to vote is not safe.

For the other three reasons (i.e. “Doesn’t make a difference” (19%), “No convincing candidate” (18%), “Not interested in politics” (17%)). These reasons all point to one common structural issue, that the DUSU elections are highly perceived as a proxy battle of national political parties rather than student representation.

The Lyngdoh Committee, set up on Supreme Court direction, tried to disassociate student elections from political parties and capped candidate spending at ₹5,000, but these rules are widely and openly flouted, with student leaders themselves calling ₹5,000 insufficient even for petrol. Actual campaign spending is reported to run far beyond official limits allegedly reaching in crores, being a clear indicator of the money and muscle power and the massive political backing of the candidates. Students described being offered alcohol, movie tickets, water park passes, and makeup in exchange for votes, which reinforces the “no convincing candidate” sentiment.

Besides these factors, we also asked students who voted in the elections what motivated them to do so. The most popular response, cited by nearly 80% of respondents, was that they “wanted to practice their democratic right.” While this reflects a sense of democratic responsibility among students, it also raises questions about their motivations for participating in elections. The finding suggests that, for many students, voting may be driven more by the desire to exercise a constitutional right than by the expectation of bringing about meaningful change. This could point to a degree of scepticism about the ability of student elections to deliver tangible change.

The turnout numbers tell only half the story. A dip in these turnout numbers is not just a statistic but instead it reflects, as several students put it, a growing belief that DUSU elections change little in their day-to-day academic lives, and a sense that campaigning has replaced governance were recurring themes in almost every conversation. If DUSU wants to reverse this decline, the fix may lie less in security arrangements and EVMs, and more in giving students a reason to believe their vote outlasts the campaign season.

Ceiling Fan Collapses at JNU’s Tapti Hostel, Highlights the Crumbling Reality of Student Accommodations

By DU Beat September 17, 2026

On 15th September 2026, a ceiling fan collapsed in the Tapti hostel of JNU, raising serious concerns over the condition and quality of student accommodations in the university.

Following the tragic building collapse in Satya Niketan, a ceiling fan collapsed in the women’s wing at JNU’s Tapti hostel on the night of 15th September 2026. Fortunately, no student was injured, but the incident has raised serious concerns about the state of accommodations provided to students.

The JNU Students’ Union (JNUSU) said, “In a meeting with JNUSU, the former Associate Dean of Students (ADoS) had said that Tapti and Mahi-Mandavi have been declared unfit for accommodation. Despite this, students are being allotted rooms without any maintenance.”

Tapti hostel, initially built to accommodate women students, later became a coed hostel with a capacity of 400 students. The condition of the hostel is now dilapidated, with plaster crumbling, heavy rusting in emergency exits with missing steps, and broken/missing window panes; it is said to be unlivable for students. With the entire hostel already falling apart, a ceiling fan falling isn’t surprising.

After the shocking and tragic incident, the Students’ Union of the university has come forward asking the university to take immediate action towards the campus infrastructure. The JNUSU has pointed out other safety hazards at the university, such as leaking ceilings, crumbling walls and the neglected condition of Teflas, the student community centre housing the union office. Additional demands, such as the introduction of safety measures and the conduct of a safety audit in the science laboratories of the university, were made in the past week, as inadequate facilities and safety equipment led to health problems.

The JNUSU claimed in its press release that even after multiple complaints and concerns raised by the students, the university did no serious repair or maintenance work to improve the poor condition of the hostels and buildings.

The JNUSU concluded the press release by saying, “We hold the JNU Administration responsible for this continued apathy and warn that further inaction risks a tragedy similar to the one that shook Satya Niketan.”

Delhi High Court Warns It May Halt DUSU Results Over Election Violence

By DU Beat September 17, 2026

The Delhi High Court has warned that it may stay the counting of votes and declaration of results for the DUSU elections if authorities fail to act on alleged violence during campaigning, and has sought status reports from Delhi University, Delhi Police and the Delhi government by Friday.

The Delhi High Court on Thursday warned that it could halt the counting of votes and the declaration of results in the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections if it remains unsatisfied with the action taken against those allegedly involved in violence and violations of election guidelines during campaigning.

A bench of Chief Justice D.K. Upadhyaya and Justice Tejas Karia was hearing an application seeking strict enforcement of the Lyngdoh Committee recommendations, anti-defacement guidelines and the DUSU Code of Conduct, filed after reports of extensive vandalism on 16 September, the final day of campaigning. The plea alleges breaches of election rules restricting each candidate to four bona fide resident students, and seeks disqualification of candidates and supporters found responsible for violations.

The court observed, “Democracy cannot be converted into a criminal society,” while noting that the material placed before it depicted an “almost complete failure” on the part of the authorities to ensure the smooth conduct of the elections despite repeated past assurances.

The bench directed Delhi University, Delhi Police and the Delhi government to file detailed status reports on the incidents and the action taken by Friday, when the matter will next be heard. It also ordered a copy of its order sent to the Delhi Police Commissioner, the Delhi Chief Secretary and the Lieutenant Governor. The court clarified that polling scheduled for 18 September was not being stayed or postponed, though a harsher order remains possible depending on the reports submitted. Results are expected to be declared on 19 September.

DU Teacher Injured Amidst The DUSU Campaigning Clash

By DU Beat September 17, 2026

Clashes erupted across DU’s North Campus during the final day of DUSU campaigning; a teacher from Motilal Nehru College was allegedly assaulted.

On 16th September, the final day of campaigning for the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections, physical clashes were reported at several locations. A brawl broke out between two election-party member groups at the North Campus around 5 p.m. A student campaigner allegedly assaulted a teacher at Motilal Nehru College (Evening).

Faculty members at Motilal Nehru College said campaigners clashed with teachers while attempting to enter the premises and that several teachers were injured. More clashes were reported at Sri Aurobindo College, while altercations were reported at other colleges as well.

Faculty members at the college staged a protest following the incident and demanded action against the student. The demands remain intact as both the faculty and administration demand judicial punishment and justice for the heinous act. Faculty members also said they were considering filing a police complaint and boycotting election-related duties, according to the PTI.

A teacher said that the faculty member who was allegedly assaulted was seriously injured and was receiving medical attention.

A DUSU campaigner beat a faculty member. He is grievously injured and is receiving medical attention”,

the teacher told PTI.

Due to the physical altercations, several students and campaigners were mobilised in a single area near the arts faculty. The state police and security guards also got involved to resolve the confrontation. Unfortunately, faculty members could not immediately establish which student organisation the alleged campaigner represented.

Sources told Times Now that the altercation intensified as rival groups barged through the main gate. Teachers who intervened were allegedly hit repeatedly by campaigners.

Denouncing the incident, the Delhi University Teachers’ Association (DUTA) termed it a “grave” infringement of teachers’ safety and dignity, and sought disciplinary and legal recourse against those responsible.

No election-related activity should be permitted to compromise the safety, dignity or academic functioning of the college community”,

DUTA said.

The police and the administration are yet to resolve the matter, with further action against those responsible for the violent brawl much awaited.

Group Assault At Shyam Lal College Raises Questions Over Campus Safety

By DU Beat September 17, 2026

The Shyam Lal College assault has raised questions over campus safety and the college administration’s response to complaints of physical violence. The incident, as described by the victim Paranjaya Dwivedi, and a witness, allegedly escalated from a fight involving four to five individuals to a larger confrontation involving several dozen students.

The incident reportedly took place at approximately 5:30 PM on 7 September 2026, outside the college canteen. According to Paranjaya, the confrontation began when a fight broke out involving four to five individuals. A confidential eyewitness recalled that Paranjaya had been inside with them shortly before a fight broke out, describing the use of belts and physical blows, including blows to the back of the head and face, as well as hair-pulling. According to them, students took Paranjaya’s bag and phone during the confrontation.

As an anonymous eyewitness notes, the security guards’ intervention briefly eased the situation; however the fight escalated again when an individual called for more people. They estimated that 25 to 30 students subsequently approached Paranjaya, pinned him against a wall, and continued physically assaulting him. It was further alleged that the group later pursued Paranjaya as he was being taken towards the gate, describing the use of wipers during the assault, and claiming one had broken during the altercation. The attempted use of a “rusted rod” was also reported, but the security guards intervened and removed it.

Beyond the incident itself, Paranjaya made several broader allegations concerning student politics and election campaigning at SLC. He claimed that physical altercations were common during campaigning and that the college witnessed at least two bloody fights on an average day during such periods, also referring to an earlier period when, according to him, the college gate was left bloodied. He mentioned that students who support candidates sometimes engage in violence in the name of politics, even when they themselves are not politically active. “I really respect student politics, but it has a very dark side,” he said. He further attested that students had approached him suggesting retaliation over legal action, and according to him, this reflected a loss of trust in the college administration and the police. He also claimed that the students had previously reported receiving death threats, and women opposing the violent groups allegedly faced rape threats.

Another eyewitness, who is reportedly active in the college’s student politics asserted that the students’ union had no involvement whatsoever in the altercation, and that it primarily comprised students of the evening college, dubbing them the “badmash” students of the institution. This account conflicts with Paranjaya’s description of the incident as tied to student politics and election campaigning. The confrontation was reported to have continued until the teachers and people from the evening office arrived, after which the group reportedly disappeared.

Paranjaya stated that the college administration and police had pressured victims not to file First Information Reports (FIRs), and that the administration was unwilling to take action without a formal complaint, and that this contributed to a lack of accountability. Further allegations were made against the security personnel’s inability to control the group during the incident, despite the presence of guards and teachers. According to him, the administration had failed to develop a permanent solution to the recurring violence.

Paranjaya claimed that the administration’s first question to him after facing violence was why he had been present in the evening college when he was a student of the morning college. He also referred to other incidents of violence that he said had taken place around the same period, claiming that another student had suffered severe injuries to the ear, while a separate student had allegedly nearly lost an eye in an attack. The circumstances and connections between these incidents remain unclear.

The Shyam Lal College assault comes to light after multiple such altercations have been reported at SLC, the most recent one being a violent brawl in April 2026, on the day of SLC’s annual cultural festival, where students reportedly resorted to using sticks to beat each other up. According to the Students’ Federation of India on Instagram, a group of 50 students allegedly attacked five female activists campaigning peacefully at Shyam Lal College. The evidence and accounts shared by the eyewitnesses and Paranjaya form the basis of this report; questions remain regarding the action taken by the college administration.

DUSU Campaigning Turns Violent Near Arts Faculty

By DU Beat September 17, 2026

DUSU campaigning turned violent near the Arts Faculty in North Campus on September 17th, with witnesses reporting significant fighting and damage to posters and vehicles.

Campaigning for the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections turned confrontational near the Faculty of Arts on September 16, the final day of campaigning, with reports of a clash involving campaigners and people travelling through the area.

At around 5 pm, ABVP supporters were seen campaigning near the Faculty of Arts, causing traffic congestion in the area. According to accounts from witnesses present, an altercation took place after a few occupants of a car approached the campaigners and asked them to clear the road or shift the campaign area.

The disagreement reportedly escalated from a verbal exchange into a physical confrontation. The occupants of the car were alleged by those present to have links with the NSUI, although their affiliation could not be independently established at the time of reporting.

The confrontation involved several individuals, with reports of physical assault and damage to vehicles. Witnesses also reported the use of objects, including wooden sticks, rods and PVC pipes, during the clash.

The situation subsequently spread beyond the initial confrontation. Campaign banners belonging to different student groups were reportedly torn down, while some vehicles and property in and around the area were damaged.

According to accounts from students present at the time, a group of campaigners also entered the Kirori Mal College girls’ hostel premises, where banners associated with other student groups were allegedly removed or damaged. Many of the groups were seen carrying sticks and pipes to clash with the other groups. A brief altercation took place between the group and a few people, where a jeep was allegedly damaged by the sticks. Students reported verbal exchanges and threats during the incident. A similar confrontation was subsequently reported in the boys’ hostel area.

The incident also raised concerns among students and members of the public who were recording the events on their phones. Some people present alleged that individuals attempting to record the clashes were confronted or prevented from doing so. Claims regarding the use of internet-jamming equipment could not be independently verified.

A journalist and cameraman from an independent media organisation were also present to cover the final day of campaigning. While recording the incident, the cameraman was reportedly confronted by individuals involved in the clash. The journalist accompanying him alleged that she was manhandled while attempting to intervene.

The sequence of events and the identities and affiliations of all those involved could not be independently established at the time of reporting. Further verification, including accounts from the student organisations, eyewitnesses, university authorities and police, would be necessary to establish responsibility for the incidents.

The incidents on the final day of campaigning have raised concerns over the conduct and safety of campaigning ahead of the DUSU elections. With multiple reports of physical confrontations, damage to property and alleged interference and harassment with those documenting the events. Questions are persistent regarding the circumstances that led to the clashes and the accountability of those involved.

Hansraj College Offers Extra Attendance, Certificates to Boost Voter Turnout for Union Elections

By DU Beat September 17, 2026

Hansraj College has announced attendance incentives and appreciation certificates for students who vote in the 2026-27 Students’ Union elections, joining a growing list of DU colleges using such measures to boost turnout.

Hansraj College has announced a set of incentives to encourage student participation in its Students’ Union Election, scheduled for 18 September 2026 (Friday). In an official notice dated 15 September 2026, Election Officer Dr. Rachna Sharma stated that the college will award 8 bonus attendance to all students who cast their vote, along with appreciation certificates for participating voters. The college has also set up a “Selfie Point” for students to commemorate their vote after casting it.

The notice, addressed to the student body, calls on students to “exercise their right to vote and contribute to the democratic process of the college.”

Hansraj isn’t alone in using attendance and recognition-based incentives to drive election turnout. Similar measures have surfaced at other Delhi University colleges in past years, though the scale has varied, and voter turnout for college-level union elections has historically been inconsistent across campuses, often prompting administrations to experiment with such incentives.

At Shaheed Bhagat Singh College, students received 5 days of bonus attendance for voting last year, and a dedicated “Pink Booth” was set up to ensure the security and convenience of all female voters. Miranda House’s incentive was comparatively modest, with attendance benefits limited to the day of voting itself. At Motilal Nehru College, the practice was less formalised—some teachers reportedly granted attendance for three classes to students who voted, rather than it being a college-wide policy.

With Hansraj’s 8-day offer among the more generous incentives seen so far this election season, the move is likely to renew conversations around whether such measures are necessary to ensure democratic participation on campus, or whether they risk reducing voting to a transactional exercise.

Election campaign ends in clash at Satyawati College

By DU Beat September 16, 2026

A clash during Satyawati College’s student union election campaign left two students injured and two vehicles damaged, with police investigating reports of firing.

Election campaigning for Satyawati College’s student union took a violent turn on Tuesday, September 15, after a clash between two groups left two students injured and two vehicles damaged in northwest Delhi’s Bharat Nagar.

According to sources, the incident took place near Wazirpur Village after an argument between the two groups escalated into an altercation, which was followed by reports of firing and assault.

The two injured students, identified by police as Ansh (19) and Bhavishya Chaudhary(19), were taken to Deep Chand Bandhu Hospital for treatment.

Police reached the spot following reports of the altercation. At the same time, the Crime Team and Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) team were called in to examine the scene where two vehicles were found damaged.

Police have so far described the incident as a “quarrel between college students” and said that further action will depend on the medical examination reports and preliminary inquiry. The circumstances surrounding the reported firing and assault are still being investigated. CCTV footage from the area is also being examined to identify those involved and establish what exactly happened.

This was a Satyawati College student union election, rather than the ongoing DUSU central elections. Both are taking place during the same election season, but the two remain separate electoral processes, with the Satyawati election concerning representation at the college level.

For now, police are investigating the incident, and no conclusion has been reached about who fired. As campaigning continues, the incident adds another layer to the increasingly contentious atmosphere surrounding student elections in the capital. What is clear, however, is that a college election campaign has gone considerably beyond slogans, posters and votes.

The committee members will conduct on-site inspections to assess the structural conditions, room layouts and overall living conditions of the existing PG accommodations. They will also examine building safety and the availability and quality of essential utilities provided by the PG owners to the students.

The committee will further verify whether local PG operators possess the necessary approvals and statutory clearances from civic authorities. The university has given the committee 30 days to submit its findings.

The committee will also draft a legal Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed to facilitate the official recognition of PG accommodations by the University. This move aims to improve the reliability of certain PGs and provide students with greater assurance regarding their safety and security. The initiative comes amid growing concerns over the safety of student accommodation in areas surrounding Delhi University.
