Delhi Corporation Mayor Shelly Oberoi has directed the Corporation Commissioner to take strict action against coaching centres violating building permit laws. The mayor said measures are being taken by the civic body in cooperation with public works department and Delhi Jal Board to manage waterlogging.
Shelly Oberoi told ANI, “It is sad that three children have died. I have written to the MCD commissioner that strict action should be taken against all such coaching centres running commercial activities in the basement under the jurisdiction of Delhi Corporation.” Oberoi said strict action will be taken against buildings violating bylaws.
“The completion certification of this building in Rajinder Nagar was given in 2021 and it is clearly written that the basement will be used only for parking and storage. We should not play the blame game and take action against those responsible,” she said.
Oberoi added Delhi is receiving record rainfall. “There is the problem of waterlogging but MCD, PWD and Delhi Jal Board are working 24 hours to give relief to the people of Delhi,” she said.
