The investigation into the Transport Nagar building collapse, which claimed seven lives in September, has uncovered shocking irregularities. The probe, conducted by a high-level committee formed by the state government, points to complicity between LDA officials and employees in illegal construction.
The three-story building collapsed on September 7, resulting in seven fatalities. The committee, headed by Secretary, Home, Sanjeev Gupta, was formed on September 8 to investigate the cause of the collapse.
The plot was allotted on September 9, 2003, while the application was submitted on November 4, 2004.
- The application form lacked the applicant’s signature.
- The building was constructed in violation of norms, with no action taken by LDA officials.
How did the irregularities occur, and who is responsible?
- Why didn’t LDA officials take action against illegal construction?
- Was a no-objection certificate (NOC) obtained from the fire department?
- Were medical stores and warehouses operating with necessary permissions?
“The information sought by the committee will be provided, and necessary action will be taken as per their orders.” – Prathmesh Kumar, VC, LDA
