07:21also are five-storey buildings.
07:23So, those will be sealed and the chief minister has ordered the MLAs to inspect their areas, their constituencies, if
07:31the buildings are complying with the rules and regulations or not, if there are rules which are being violated.
07:37In fact, no building should be above 17.5 meters.

08:49So, the buildings will be checked for structural safety.
08:52And this will also be, in fact, a city-wide check, not just in these particular areas.

08:59But there's a city-wide check that has been ordered by the chief minister.
