The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has suddenly woken up to the problem of illegal construction in the city after the house collapse in Lalita Park around two weeks ago. The civic agency has identified around 1,500 buildings which have constructed illegal floors in the area and will soon initiate action against them.
Under the Master Plan-2021, the restriction for vertical growth in the city is 15 meter in most parts of the city. MCD stated that number of such buildings are likely to double in the coming weeks as the survey to identify such illegal construction is still ongoing in Laxmi Nagar and surrounding areas.
``We had initiated a survey to identify illegally built floors and rooms which had been constructed in violation of the Master Plan-2021 norms. Around 1,500 buildings have been identified so far and we will initiate action against them very soon. Since the survey is ongoing, the number of such buildings are likely to increase further in the coming days,'' said standing committee chairman, Yogender Chandolia.
He further stated that demolition would have to be initiated in all these cases. ``We cannot provide any sort of relief to people who have carried out such construction as it is in direct violation of the MPD-2021,'' added Chandolia.
