Delhi Police Had Warned MCD About Illegal Construction Months Before Chawri Bazar Building Collapse

A tragic three-story building collapse in Delhi's Chawri Bazar has sparked serious questions regarding administrative oversight. Officials revealed that the Delhi Police had formally alerted the <b>Municipal Corporation of Delhi</b> (MCD) about ongoing illegal construction at the site approximately five months ago. Despite this prior notification, it remains unclear whether any corrective action was taken by the civic body before the structure gave way on Thursday. The incident has resulted in the <b>tragic death of two individuals</b>, while one person sustained injuries and is currently receiving medical attention. Authorities are now investigating the lapse in enforcement, as the collapse highlights the potential consequences of ignoring safety warnings regarding unauthorized building modifications in the city.
