Yash Dabas, the newly elected president of the Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU), says his first task is to conduct safety audits of college hostels and paying guest (PG) accommodations. He frames the initiative as a priority for improving student safety and oversight.
DUSU’s vice-president, Deepanshu Shokeen, focuses on seeking justice for victims of recent building collapses. Both outlets report that Dabas’s role centers on safety checks, while Shokeen emphasizes accountability linked to collapse incidents affecting students and local residents. The reporting also notes that Dabas is affiliated with ABVP, which wins three of four central panel posts, while Shokeen is an independent candidate aiming to raise and amplify student concerns. While the accounts share the same core themes—audits of hostels/PGs and continued attention to collapse-related justice—they differ mainly in emphasis, with one outlet underscoring the election outcome and the other foregrounding the new president’s stated agenda.
