Following the Saturday morning building collapse incident, the North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NMC) suspended the assistant engineer and junior engineer of the area and ordered an inquiry into the building collapse. “The Commissioner has ordered an inquiry into the incident under Additional Commissioner (Engineering) of the corporation and errant civic officials in this connection will not be spared, if found guilty of any irregularity,” NMC
spokesperson Yogendra Singh Mann said. An NMC team is working at the spot to remove the debris. Mann sought to rule out presumption that it was an illegal construction saying the structure was not raised but only the foundation digging in the neighbouring plot was going on. “A notice was also sent to the neighbouring plot to stop construction earlier, but by continuing to dig, they have violated the order and hence due action will be taken against that party, if found guilty post the municipal inquiry,” he said.
