Sunday night’s Satya Niketan collapse in Delhi, which has killed six people in a PG accommodation near Delhi University’s South Campus, is the latest entry in a decade-long pattern of deadly building failures across India. From Mumbai to Chennai, ageing structures, illegal alterations and monsoon rains have repeatedly proven fatal — often in buildings authorities had already flagged as unsafe years earlier.According to National Crime Records Bureau data, structural collapses kill an estimated 1,200 to 2,000 people across India every year, with old and unauthorised residential buildings accounting for the bulk of these deaths. n18oc_india CNN-News18 is your trusted source for breaking news, updates, and in-depth analysis from around the world.
