Delhi Government Orders Magisterial Inquiry into Seemapuri Building Collapse
Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the October 7 collapse of a four- to five-storey residential building in Seemapuri, which killed four to five people. The probe, led by the North East Delhi District Magistrate, will investigate causes including possible violations by property owners and government agencies, and examine enforcement of safety laws. Preliminary findings suggest demolition work with heavy machinery at an adjacent unauthorised site may have triggered the collapse. Three nearby buildings were also damaged and evacuated. The inquiry aims to recommend legal action and long-term safety measures.
