Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) founder Abhijeet Dipke on Sunday reacted to the collapse of a building in Delhi’s Satya Niketan, where around 40-50 students are suspected to have been trapped under the rubble, questioning the state of educational infrastructure and asking, “Will the PM visit DU again and explain how did this happen?”
“Students deserve safe classrooms, safe hostels and basic dignity.
“Yesterday, the PM visited DU, gave a political speech and even invoked the term “Dimagi Naxal,” while speaking very little about the state of our educational infrastructure,” Dipke said in a post. The number of casualties is still unknown,” he said. Is that really too much to ask?” he said. The Congress also reacted to the building collapse and called the incident “extremely unfortunate”.
“Today, a hostel building in South Campus has collapsed, with students feared trapped under the debris.
“The news of the building collapse in Satya Niketan near the South Campus of Delhi University is extremely unfortunate. The reactions came as rescue operations continued at the site of the collapsed building in Satya Niketan.
Most of the residents in this building were DU students, and information has been received that they are trapped under the debris,” the party said, according to reports. “Since immediately after the incident, NSUI comrades have been engaged at the site in providing every possible assistance,” it said. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said teams from DDMA, NDRF, Delhi Fire Services, Delhi Police, MCD, CTS and Civil Defence were involved in the operation on a “war footing”.
