The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) carries out demolition actions against alleged unsafe and illegal structures after a building collapse that kills seven occupants. According to reports, the civic body demolishes 34 structures and seals 17 properties across multiple areas.
MCD also expands inspections focused on paying guest (PG) accommodations. Outlets report that over 1,200 buildings are surveyed for structural vulnerabilities, including 1,243 or 1,252 PG buildings, depending on the figures cited. Enforcement teams conduct checks across 12 zones and, in some locations, resume controlled demolitions near the collapse site.
Authorities frame the campaign as part of efforts to enforce building regulations and ensure safety compliance for PG units and other structures. The timelines mentioned by one outlet indicate the survey is aimed to be completed by September 10.
