MCD Cracks Down on Illegal High-rises After Mustafabad Collapse
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has launched a major crackdown on illegal high-rise constructions following the tragic building collapse in Mustafabad on March 31, 2025. The action follows intense public outrage and scrutiny.
The collapsed building, located at Property No. D-26, Shakti Vihar, Gali No. 1, was situated in an unauthorised colony. This has raised serious questions about building regulations and enforcement.
Disciplinary action has been initiated against MCD officials allegedly responsible for overlooking violations. The MCD is investigating the extent of negligence and possible corruption.
The demolition of several other illegal structures has commenced across the city. This decisive action aims to prevent future tragedies and ensure public safety.
This incident underscores the urgent need for stricter building codes and robust enforcement mechanisms to prevent similar disasters. The ongoing investigation and the MCD’s actions are crucial for holding those responsible accountable and improving building safety standards across Delhi.
