Delhi MCD Orders Structural Safety Certificates from Over 2,400 PG Accommodations
Following the Satya Niketan building collapse in New Delhi that killed seven, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) is issuing notices to over 2,400 paying guest accommodations, requiring owners to submit structural safety certificates within 15 days. The MCD surveyed 2,453 PGs housing around 50,000 residents, identifying four dangerous buildings already ordered for evacuation. Due to missing building plans, the certificates will help assess structural safety, with technical inspections planned to prevent further incidents.
