The East Delhi Municipal Corporation has issued notices to 22 schools and 44 residential group housing societies in Shahdara following the instructions given by the Delhi High Court in view of the seismic stability and earthquakes in Delhi.
A senior EDMC official said that as per the structural security of the building, its structure audit report along with the existing building plan will have to be submitted within 30 days from the date of notice in the east Corporation office.
The official further said that the structure audit report will be submitted through the listed structure engineers, whose information is available on the Municipal Corporation of Delhi website mcdonline.nic.in/eodb/.
“It would be necessary for owners to submit an audit report within 30 days. Thereafter building retrofitted can be made if required under the supervision of a registered structure engineer within six months,” the corporation said in a statement.
The official further said that due to non-submission of report on time, strict action will be as per rules. Apart from this, EDMC has also initiated the same exercise for buildings constructed before the year 2001, he added.
