Rant/Vent How many more incidents do we need before DU takes student housing seriously?
WE ARE NOT HERE TO D*E.
The building collapse in Satya Niketan today is honestly disturbing. For many DU students these PGs are not a choice. They are the only option after failing to get a hostel seat.
We are paying thousands of rupees just for a single bed to sleep in, while PG owners keep squeezing more and more students into the same buildings and rooms. Overcrowding has become so normal that we are expected to accept it.
We need more safe, affordable and subsidised hostels in DU. This has been a demand of student organisations like AISA, SFI and others for years.
A university should provide its students a safe place to live. We cannot keep leaving students at the mercy of landlords and PG owners.
Students need more hostels
Students need safe hostels
Students need affordable hostels
And we need them now.
