Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) Commissioner Sanjeev Khirwar is facing renewed scrutiny following the deadly building collapse in Delhi’s Satya Niketan area. Student organisations have demanded his resignation, alleging lapses in civic oversight after a five-storey building being used as a student paying guest accommodation collapsed, killing seven people and injuring others.
Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) protested outside the MCD headquarters and called for Khirwar’s resignation, while also raising concerns about the safety of student accommodations in the capital.
