NMC Commissioner orders probe into incident

Published on: 

North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NMC) Commissioner Varsha Joshi has ordered an enquiry into fire tragedy that claimed 43 lives in north Delhi's Anaj Mandi area on Sunday.  

Replying to Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) spokesperson and an MLA from Greater Kailash Saurabh Bharadwaj on twitter, Joshi tweeted "By all means. I am not known to shy away from either the truth, nor of the media. Additional Commissioner Shri Sandip Jacques is conducting an inquiry into the issue. We shall act on each and every finding. No statement is possible before such inquiry,"

Bharadwaj on Sunday asked the commissioner to come on record about building bye- laws violations. "MCD Commissioner @suraiya95 should come on record about the building bye laws violations. Politicians can manipulate but official version of North MCD should be heard," he tweeted.

A row erupted after 43 labourers dead and many others injured in a massive fire ripped through a factory in Anaj Mandi area of north Delhi on Sunday morning. A rescue operation was carried out by different agencies and 63 people were pulled out from the building.
