Why it matters
The incident has sparked a political debate regarding urban safety standards and the housing crisis for students in the capital.
Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta visited the site of the deadly building collapse in Satya Niketan on Sunday evening (September 6, 2026), to oversee rescue operations and ensure that all agencies are working in tandem to rescue those still trapped under the debris, even as Opposition leaders called for accountability and a relook at the student housing crisis in the national capital.
Standing on the first floor of a temple adjacent to the site, Ms. Gupta declared that whoever is responsible for the collapse will not be spared, whether it is the building’s owner or a government official.
“The building was old, and some construction and renovation work was underway. Our priority is to save the lives of these children first. All officials are present here, and there will be no shortage of any kind. However, the guilty will not be spared,” she said.
