Mustafabad’s Illegal High-rises: A Ticking Time Bomb?
Deputy Speaker Mohan Singh Bisht has raised serious concerns regarding the proliferation of unauthorized multi-story buildings in Mustafabad. These structures, he alleges, blatantly disregard building regulations.
The narrow roads surrounding these illegal constructions present a significant safety hazard, particularly in the event of an earthquake. Evacuation and emergency response would be severely hampered.
Bisht has directly accused the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) of negligence. He claims their failure to seal these buildings and disconnect their electricity supply points to widespread corruption.
The MCD’s inaction, Bisht argues, puts residents at grave risk. He has demanded immediate and complete sealing of all unauthorized structures to prevent a potential catastrophe.
This issue highlights the urgent need for stricter enforcement of building codes and greater accountability within the MCD. The safety and well-being of Mustafabad’s residents hangs in the balance. The upcoming monsoon season further exacerbates these risks.
