Delhi Suspends Officials and Seals Illegal Buildings After Satya Niketan Collapse
Following the collapse of a five-storey building in Delhi's Satya Niketan that killed seven people, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) suspended five South Zone officials, including a Deputy Commissioner and four engineers, pending disciplinary proceedings. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta ordered an FIR against the building owner and directed immediate sealing of illegal structures with four or more floors. The collapse was linked to structural weakening from basement waterlogging and unauthorized construction, prompting a wider crackdown on illegal buildings in the city.
