7 Dead in Delhi PG Collapse; Agreement Had Absolved Hostel of Liability

A building collapse at Satya Niketan in Delhi claimed seven lives, raising serious concerns about tenant safety. In the aftermath, a PG agreement surfaced that reportedly exempted the hostel management from any responsibility in the event of a tragedy. The document explicitly stated that no compensation would be provided for injuries or losses suffered by residents. The liability waiver covered a range of disasters, including fires, extreme weather events, and earthquakes. The clause has drawn sharp scrutiny given the fatal outcome of the collapse.
