Building collapse
New Delhi: Angered over
the building collapse at Bara Hindu Rao, the BJP said it
was the Delhi Government's
fault as it had failed to redevelop the Walled City area, leading
to widespread illegal constructions. Delhi BJP president Vijay Goel also
targeted Chandni Chowk MP Kapil Sibal for ignoring the area. "The Government has ignored
the redevelopment of Chandni Chowk rendering thousands of dilapidated buildings dangerous for residents, shopkeepers, traders and visitors.Even
basic civic amenities have not been provided in Chandni Chowk," Goel said after
visiting the collapsed
building site.
Goel, who has represented Chandni Chowk in lok Sabha twice, said, "One can see dangerous cobwebs of electric wires engulfing the by lanes of this area posing grave risk to common people," he alleged.
