The college, established in 1967, is now facing scrutiny over its aging infrastructure. A letter has been sent to Delhi University's Engineering Department seeking a report on the building's condition.

The incident has sparked outrage among students.

The Kalindi College Students' Union on Tuesday submitted a memorandum demanding a full infrastructure audit and immediate repairs.

Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) President Raunak Khatri condemned the incident in a video message and called on the university administration to form a committee to identify and repair dilapidated college buildings within three months. He also demanded public disclosure of the audit findings.

"This is not an isolated case," said Khatri, "There have been similar incidents in Shyama Prasad Mukherjee College, Shri Ram College of Commerce, and St Stephen's College. The infrastructure in several colleges including Dayal Singh, Aditi Mahavidyalaya and Shraddhanand is in urgent need of overhaul."

As repair work begins at Kalindi College, the incident has ignited a broader debate on the state of infrastructure across Delhi University, prompting calls for immediate and systemic reforms.
