PU safety audit flags gaps 3 months after scholar's death by electrocution

Three months after PhD scholar Jyoti Yadav died of suspected electrocution on a waterlogged Panjab University campus stretch, a university-led safety audit has flagged road, electrical, civil, and fire safety deficiencies. The university earmarked ₹3 crore for road repairs. A parallel SDM inquiry found a damaged low-tension cable at the incident site and recommended accountability across the electrical maintenance hierarchy.
