New Delhi sources have stated that Delhi has only 15 dangerous buildings and the figures of the annual survey of structurally precarious buildings for 2017, which was released by the three civic bodies on Monday, are to be believed, there are just 10 unstable buildings in North Delhi, four in east Delhi and a single one under the south corporation's area.
Sources have stated that in this year's survey, over 4.2 lakh houses were inspected by the north body, 3.17 lakh by the east and over 8.2 lakh houses by the south corporation and out of the 10 dangerous buildings reported by the north corporation, seven are in Sadar Pahargani zone, two in Karol Bagh and one in old Delhi.
According to sources BS Vohra, president, East
Delhi RWAs Joint Front, likewise insisted that the data couldn't be correct.
"You cannot identify dangerous buildings by merely looking at them".
"We require technological up gradation and strict oversight."
Meanwhile some engineering department officials admitted that the current
methodology of determining unstable buildings was obsolete.
