The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- A Supreme Court-appointed monitoring committee has asked the court to order a fresh crackdown on commercial activities running from unsafe residential buildings across Delhi.
- The committee cited fatal fires, including the Malviya Nagar guest house fire that killed 21 people, and called the change of sanctioned building use a 'fraud on the system'.
- It wants an end to mixed-use commercial policies in DDA master plans, surveys by local bodies, random fire safety inspections by Delhi Fire Service, and a review of the bed and breakfast policy.
- The MCD says it is already surveying unauthorised constructions and reports to the court regularly.
What to watch next
- The Supreme Court's response to the committee's request to order a fresh crackdown
- Results of MCD's ongoing survey of unauthorised constructions and illegal commercial use
