Delhi Orders Magisterial Probe into Seemapuri Building Collapse That Killed Four
Delhi Home Minister Ashish Sood has ordered a magisterial inquiry into the October 7 collapse of a four- to five-storey residential building in New Seemapuri that killed four people. Preliminary findings suggest demolition work with heavy machinery at an adjacent unauthorized site may have triggered the collapse. The inquiry will investigate building law violations, government lapses, and recommend legal action. Meanwhile, local bodies are considering extending a law protecting illegal constructions in Delhi's unauthorized colonies amid concerns over structural safety.
