A Joint Task Force of MCD and DFS, constituted under the order of the Delhi High Court in the fire incident at a coaching centre at Mukherjee Nagar earlier this year, will also undertake a survey of all buildings in Rajinder Nagar area, it said.
It will seal off all basements and other illegal structures which are in violation of building bye laws, MPD 2021 and fire safety norms, the statement added.
‘No Violation Will Be Spared’
The Delhi civic body also kicked off a sealing drive targeting the capital city’s coaching centre hubs northwest Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar and Old Rajinder Nagar.
This comes two days after three civil services aspirants died after a library housed in the basement of their coaching centre, Rau’s IAS Study Circle, in central Delhi’s Old Rajinder Nagar got inundated following heavy rain, and reportedly led to the failure of the single biometric entry and exit point.
The Delhi MCD mayor Shelly Oberoi also shared photos of the sealing drive on social media site X.
