Delhi PG Collapse: Young Students, Big Dreams And A Tragedy That Changed Everything

The Delhi PG building collapse has devastated families far beyond the national capital. Among the victims were young students who had travelled to Delhi with dreams of education and a better future. Eighteen-year-old Arpit Jaj had just returned from Dewas after Raksha Bandhan. Seventeen-year-old Pawan, the only brother among four sisters, was pursuing B.Sc Computer Science. Nineteen-year-old Akshat Yadav, the only son of his parents, was pulled from the debris but could not survive. In Durg, 20-year-old Yuvraj Soni was speaking to his childhood friend when a loud rumble was followed by silence. Behind every number in the death toll is a face, a family and a future cut short.
