A five‑story building in the Satyaniketan area collapsed, prompting residents to file a petition with the Delhi High Court demanding an immediate hearing before the chief justice.
A five‑story building in Delhi’s Satyaniketan neighbourhood collapsed earlier this week, leaving several residents injured and the surrounding area in disarray.
In response, residents and affected parties have filed a petition with the Delhi High Court, seeking an urgent hearing before the chief justice. The petition alleges that the collapse was caused by structural deficiencies and demands that the court order an immediate investigation.
The Delhi High Court has acknowledged receipt of the petition and has indicated that it will schedule a hearing in the coming days. Legal experts say the case could set a precedent for building safety enforcement in the city.
Meanwhile, police and municipal officials are conducting a preliminary inquiry into the cause of the collapse, while emergency services continue to provide assistance to those affected.
