Construction of illegal building can kill us

Reported on September 4, 2016 from New Delhi , Delhi  ι Report #121070


Subject: Building is going to collapse and harm our families

Respected Sir,
We are resident of Gali No. 14 Balbir Nagar Ext., Shahdara 110032. Recently a new building has been constructed in our area which is very unsafe for nearby residents. It will be the first building to collapse during earthquakes and will destroy our houses and injure or even kill us and our families. It is a major threat to our lives and we may even die. The building is against the safety and security standards, the thekedar (contracter) knows about this and still they are constructing it just to earn some extra money. The building is under construction and we had talked with the building owner of 1/5379 Gali No. 14 Balbir Nagar Ext. Shahdara Delhi-32 that the building will cause us a lot of problem due to its design (Building is being constructed on 35% more than the alloted land area) and will harm us in future to which he arrogantly replied I don’t care about you and we will build it, do whatever you want to do and abused us. They are constructioning extra balconies which it coming on the roads.
Later, when we informed concerned authorities including EDMC about illegal construction of the building, they visited the place and told that the owner has not got the map approved and analyzed that the building is not adhering to any set security standards and is dangerous for nearby residents. But they did not take any action because we think they had received some money to close the file. After that we informed police about the incident but they were also corrupt and took bribe from them.
We are concern about nearby houses and families living in it. Concern authorities know about this but till now no action has been taken. They also give us warning to harm our family if we complaint about them. I hope you will understand our problem and take speedy action.
We request you not to disclose my complaint; our families can be in danger.
Thank You
