00:50In fact, we have a reaction from Chief Minister Rikha Gupta.
00:55We have a reaction from Chief Minister Rikha Gupta.
01:01We have a reaction from Chief Minister Rikha Gupta.
01:04We have this reaction from Chief Minister Rikha Gupta.
01:06I want to say,
01:09that the way people are desperate for their own homes,
01:13such as safety, security and security.
01:33In fact, we have Anshul on the phone line to give us more details on the same.
01:37Anshul, we are hearing from Delhi Chief Minister that two engineers have been suspended.
01:41She has also said those who ever have been involved for this negligence will not be spared at the moment.
01:46At the same time, a clear advisory caution coming in from Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta
01:53that any illegal constructions, if they do without safety measures, will harm the people who undertake such activities.
02:02Well, yes, the data from CCM has said after she had visited the spot, she stayed at the spot for
02:07like five to seven minutes.
02:08Since the area at which this collapse has happened, there is absolutely no room for any sort of movement.
02:14And hence, CCM left from there very, very, very soon because that could have obstructed the search and rescue operations
02:21that are underway.
02:23But yes, CCM has gone ahead and said that strict action would be taken.
02:27But this is something that we have not heard for the first time, probably.
02:31After every building collapse, similar statements have come out, where the government administration,
02:37this discrimination or the previous one, all of them have gone ahead and said that a detailed study will be
02:43done
02:43and stricter implementation will be done to ensure that illegal activities or illegal constructions are curbed in some way or
02:50the other.
02:51But yet again, definitely, it seems like that the MCD is definitely failing at its job
02:56because this construction that was happening was happening for the past six months.
02:59Over the last six months, the MCD says that they did not receive any complaint from the side of the
03:05police.
03:05However, they have gone ahead and suspended a junior engineer and an assistant engineer of buildings department
03:12who were responsible for ensuring that buildings that are constructed in this specific area are done with the safety measures.
03:18Also remember that graph restrictions have also been implemented in the national capital
03:22and definitely the building that was being constructed was not following any of these guidelines
03:27that have been issued either under the Vibration Plan or through Graph 2 as well.
03:31So definitely, there were a lot of things that were being done illegally at this spot exactly.
03:37However, the Chief Minister has said that no one would be spared but the larger question still remains.
03:42Yes.
03:42Are these other places in the national capital?
03:44Thanks Anshul for getting us all of those updates.
03:46We'll continue to track this development with you and all the, you know, those developments coming around,
03:51those responsible, more names coming out will also be shared with all our viewers in just a bit.
