    "summary": "A boys' PG building in Delhi collapsed, resulting in at least three deaths and trapping several people, including Delhi University students. Rescue operations are ongoing with the involvement of the National Disaster Response Force and Delhi Fire Service. The incident has raised concerns about the safety of educational infrastructure and overcrowded student accommodations.",
    "articleBody": "At least three people died and several others, including many Delhi University students, remain trapped after a boys’ PG building collapsed in Delhi. Rescue operations are underway with the National Disaster Response Force and Delhi Fire Service involved, officials said.\n\nReports indicate that many students from Delhi University are trapped under the debris. Authorities have appealed for all rescue teams to make every possible effort to reach each student and provide immediate treatment to the injured. \"My appeal is that NDRF, Delhi Fire Service, and all rescue teams reach every single student by making every possible effort, ensuring that the injured receive the best possible immediate treatment, so that no effort is spared in saving anyone,\" a senior official wrote on social media.\n\nThe incident has raised questions about the state of educational infrastructure. Around 40-50 students are suspected to be trapped in the rubble at Satya Niketan, highlighting concerns over unsafe and overcrowded PG accommodations due to inadequate hostel facilities. Observers have called the tragedy extremely heartbreaking and alarming, pointing to a pattern of accidents caused by negligence.\n\nPolitical leaders have criticized the government’s handling of infrastructure safety. One leader questioned, \"For how long will students in this country have to pay the price for failing infrastructure and neglect?\" Another asked if the Prime Minister would visit Delhi University again to explain how such an incident occurred. The Congress party described the collapse as \"an avoidable tragedy\" and urged the government to conduct relief and rescue operations at a war footing to quickly extricate those trapped.\nयह भी पढ़ें\nरातू पूर्वी मंडल की बैठक में संगठन मजबूती पर जोर\nसचिन पायलट को पंजाब का प्रभारी, भूपेश बघेल को असम की जिम्मेदारी\nBuilding collapses in Delhi’s Satya Niketan, several feared trapped\nदिल्ली एयरपोर्ट पर भारी बारिश से जलभराव, नौ उड़ानें डायवर्ट\n\nSince the incident, student groups have been actively providing assistance at the site.
