Survey of Dangerous Buildings Progressing

The Delhi civic body has announced that it has completed around 65% of its ongoing survey to identify dangerous buildings in the city. This initiative, aimed at enhancing urban safety, involves inspecting structures at risk of collapse. So far, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has surveyed 14,997 buildings, with 9,748 being declared dangerous.

The MCD started this survey in March following a series of building collapses in Delhi. The goal is to identify buildings that pose a significant threat to public safety. The civic body has categorized these buildings into 'dangerous' and 'dilapidated' to prioritize necessary actions. Dangerous buildings are those deemed unsafe for habitation, while dilapidated buildings require urgent repairs.The survey process includes physical inspections by MCD engineers who assess structural integrity and potential hazards. Buildings flagged as dangerous are issued notices, and owners are instructed to either vacate or repair the structures. Additionally, the MCD is exploring legal measures to ensure compliance from property owners.

The survey has faced challenges, including resistance from building owners and logistical difficulties in accessing certain areas. Despite these obstacles, the MCD remains committed to completing the survey by the end of the year. Once the survey is complete, a comprehensive plan will be developed to address the identified issues and ensure the safety of Delhi's urban infrastructure.
