A fire broke out at JNU’s Godavari Hostel on December 27, 2024. No injuries were reported.
Authorities and students worked together to extinguish the fire and evacuate the premises.
Initial reports suggest an electrical short circuit may have been the cause. Investigations are ongoing.
Students expressed relief over quick evacuation but raised concerns about safety measures.
Are fire safety drills conducted regularly? Is electrical maintenance up to date?
JNU has promised to review fire safety protocols across all hostels and improve infrastructure.
Regular fire safety audits. Emergency response training. Upgrading electrical systems.
Be vigilant. Report potential hazards to hostel authorities immediately.
