From Satya Niketan to Laxmi Nagar: MCD continues demolition and enforcement drive against dangerous buildings
The ongoing drive is part of a wider crackdown on unauthorised construction, illegal misuse of properties and structurally unsafe buildings across Delhi, which has intensified following the Satya Niketan collapse.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has resumed its demolition and enforcement drive against dangerous buildings and structures found in violation of building norms across the city. This intensified crackdown follows the tragic collapse of a paying guest accommodation in Satya Niketan, which resulted in seven deaths and injuries.
The MCD has already surveyed 1,252 paying guest buildings, identifying those requiring repairs and three deemed dangerous, leading to one demolition. The drive has expanded to various zones including Laxmi Nagar, Jagatpuri, Pandav Nagar, Vishwas Nagar, Mukherjee Nagar, and others. MCD teams have been actively carrying out controlled demolitions, sealing properties and issuing show-cause notices.
The enforcement drive aims to ensure compliance with building and civic regulations, preventing risks to residents arising from unauthorised construction, property misuse and structurally unsafe buildings.
