DDA Mandates Safety Audits for High-Rise Buildings Constructed Before 2001
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has mandated structural safety audits for all high-rise buildings constructed before 2001, including malls, hospitals, and educational institutions. This directive also applies to buildings under 15 meters with high footfall, such as group housing and institutional buildings. The move follows recent building collapses, including one in Satya Niketan that resulted in seven deaths, aiming to enhance public safety through thorough inspections.
