Exclusive | Satya Niketan building that collapsed in Sept didn’t have ‘sanctioned plan and completion certificate’: RTI
An RTI response from the MCD says the Satya Niketan building that collapsed, killing seven, had no sanctioned plan or completion certificate and no recorded prior safety complaints. Delhi Police has charged six people with culpable homicide and other offences in connection with the collapse.
The building, known as Hostel Daze, collapsed in the Satya Niketan area of Delhi on September 6, resulting in seven fatalities. Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) confirmed to an RTI application filed by Livemint that the structure lacked both a sanctioned building plan and a completion certificate. The civic body also stated they had not received any complaints about unauthorized construction or structural safety concerns at the property prior to the incident.
However, the MCD did not clarify whether the property was classified as unauthorized/illegal in their records.
