Two Dead in Old Delhi Building Collapse Amid Safety and Accountability Concerns
A three-storey under-construction building collapsed in Old Delhi's Chawri Bazar, killing two and injuring others. Rescue operations involved multiple agencies amid fears of more trapped workers. Investigations revealed no approved building plan and prior warnings about structural issues, with suspensions of two municipal engineers for alleged negligence. The Aam Aadmi Party accused the Delhi government and MCD of corruption and ineffective safety audits, while BJP leaders blamed builder greed. This incident highlights ongoing challenges in enforcing building safety and accountability in Delhi.
