The Indian government’s Press Information Bureau (PIB) Fact Check unit recently issued a public clarification regarding a viral social media claim. The claim, attributed to an individual identified as Dipke, asserted that a hostel building located within the South Campus of Delhi University had collapsed. The government’s fact-check unit investigated the report and officially labeled the claim as 'misleading.'

According to the government's statement, there is no factual basis for the reports of a building collapse at the university. The administration has effectively dismissed the rumor, which had begun to circulate online, potentially causing concern among students and their families. While the government has identified the source of the claim, there has been no immediate word on whether legal action or further disciplinary measures will be taken against the individual responsible for spreading the information.

This incident highlights the ongoing efforts by government agencies to monitor and debunk information circulating on social media platforms that could lead to public panic or misinformation regarding institutional safety. As of now, the university administration has not released a separate, detailed statement, leaving the government’s fact-check report as the primary official response to the incident.
