Illegal Floors in 1500 building at Lakshmi Nagar area
The civic agency has identified around 1,500 buildings which have constructed illegal floors in in Lakshmi Nagar and surrounding areas. 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. 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 ongoingin Lakshmi Nagar and surrounding areas.
Resident of Lakshmi Nagar claimed that illegal construction was taking place all across the city and it was unfair for MCD to just target them due to the house collapse. Such action should be initiated all across the city but MCD seems to be targeting Lakshmi Nagar area only.
Meanwhile, the chief vigilance officer of MCD has asked for extension of one week to submit the enquiry report on the Lalita Park house collapse case.The civic agency is also yet to initiate any action against MCD officials in this matter.
Under the Master Plan-2021, the restriction for vertical growth in the city is 15 meter in most parts of the city.Around 1,500 buildings have been identified so far and MCD will initiate action against them very soon.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.
