Students living in paying guest (PG) accommodations in Delhi could soon have stronger safety and security safeguards, with the Delhi government working on a comprehensive policy to regulate PG facilities across the national capital, news agency ANI reported.

The proposed framework, outlined by Urban Development Minister Ashish Sood, could make PG licences, police and municipal verification, CCTV cameras, night guards and wardens mandatory, while also seeking to regulate rents.
