New Delhi [India], April 21 (ANI): Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Monday ordered a comprehensive magisterial inquiry into the building collapse in the Mustafabad area's Dayalpur locality that claimed 11 lives and left several others injured.
The tragic incident took place in the early hours of April 19 at D-26, Gali No. 1, Shakti Vihar, an unauthorised colony in northeast Delhi. The building, which was around 20 years old, came crashing down while residents were asleep.
In its statement released on Monday, Raj Niwas said, 'The District Magistrate of North East Delhi has been assigned the responsibility of conducting this enquiry and has been asked to submit a detailed report within 15 days.'
The enquiry will delve deeply into the circumstances surrounding the collapse, examining all relevant facts and identifying any lapses or acts of omission and commission that may have played a role in this disaster.
The enquiry will also seek to hold accountable those individuals and entities involved in the construction and oversight of the building.
'The incident, which occurred at the wee hours of April 19, 2025, had prompted an immediate and coordinated response from various emergency services. Rescue operations are currently on-going, with teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the Delhi Fire Service (DFS) working tirelessly to clear debris and locate any remaining individuals trapped under the rubble,' it added.
Authorities continue to assess the structural safety of surrounding buildings to prevent further incidents. (ANI)
