New Delhi. Four people died in a building collapse in Mustafabad area of Delhi in the early hours of Saturday. After getting information about this incident, Mustafabad MLA and Deputy Speaker of the Assembly Mohan Singh Bisht reached the spot. Talking about action against the responsible officers, he said that I have raised the issue of illegal buildings many times.
Speaking to news agency IANS, he said that since the day I won the election, my only issue has been to take action against illegal buildings. Suppose, hundreds of people are living in a building of 25 or 50 yards, then an accident is bound to happen. I have talked to the Lieutenant Governor, Commissioner and Police Commissioner of Delhi about this. I have also raised this issue repeatedly in the Assembly, but no action has been taken till date.
He further said that it can also happen in Gali number five, D-5, where six-six, seven-seven storey buildings have been built. The responsible officers should be suspended immediately.
