Delhi's New PG Policy: Will It Prevent Future Building Collapses?
In a bid to enhance safety standards and accountability, the Delhi government is set to introduce a new policy governing paying guest (PG) accommodations. Following a tragic building collapse that raised serious concerns about safety regulations, the proposed policy mandates that PG operators obtain a PG Operating Licence and undergo thorough police and municipal verification.
This initiative comes as a direct response to the urgent need for regulatory oversight in a city where many rely on PG facilities for housing. The question remains: will this new policy effectively prevent similar disasters in the future? Who will be held accountable if these measures fail to protect residents?
As reported by NDTV, the proposed regulations aim to ensure that PG operators meet safety standards, yet the effectiveness of enforcement remains to be seen. Citizens are left wondering if these changes are enough to guarantee their safety and well-being in a city where such tragedies should never happen again.
