Following a recent tragedy in Delhi, safety concerns have emerged in Mathura regarding PGs and hostels.

The administration is now preparing to inspect these unauthorized and unsafe premises.
VIMARSHNAARAD TVThe recent tragic incident in Delhi has raised serious questions about the safety protocols in hostels and PGs across the country. In the wake of this event, the administration in Mathura has become vigilant and is planning to initiate inspections of unauthorized PGs and hostels operating within the city.
Mathura hosts numerous PGs and hostels that are being run in dilapidated buildings without meeting any safety standards. The safety of students residing in these places is currently left to fate. These institutions, which have been operating by flouting rules, are now under the administration's scanner.
According to reports from the Samvad News Agency, the condition of these buildings at the local level is quite alarming. Many hostels lack basic fire safety measures and do not have proper emergency exits for the students residing there.
Parents are also deeply concerned about the safety of their children. Given the high number of students arriving in the city for education, many individuals are taking advantage of the situation by running PGs without proper registration. These locations often lack proper ventilation and fail to meet basic hygiene standards.
Administrative officials have stated that a campaign will soon be launched to identify all such illegal institutions. Strict action will be taken against any facility that fails to comply with safety regulations.
This issue is not limited to just one city but raises a significant question mark over the safety arrangements of hostels across the state. It has become mandatory to crack down on operators who are prioritizing profits over the lives of students.
Local residents have also demanded that the administration should conduct regular inspections of these hostels. The process of sealing buildings that do not meet safety standards should not be delayed to prevent any untoward incidents.
All eyes are now on the steps the Mathura administration will take against these institutions in the coming days. Ensuring the safety of students must now be the administration's top priority.
