Local officials have started tearing down the unsafe structure standing beside the collapsed paying‑guest building in Delhi’s Satya Niketan area.
The demolition of a structurally unsafe building next to a collapsed paying‑guest (PG) house in Satya Niketan, Delhi, commenced today under the supervision of municipal authorities. The building, described as a hazard by engineers, had been left vacant after the adjacent PG block gave way, raising concerns about further collapse.
Local officials said the demolition is being carried out to prevent any additional accidents and to secure the surrounding residential lanes. Heavy machinery was deployed early in the morning, and safety cordons were established to keep pedestrians and nearby traffic away from the site.
The operation is expected to continue over the next few days, with regular monitoring to ensure that debris does not affect adjoining properties. Residents have been advised to stay clear of the area until the site is cleared and a safety assessment is completed.
Authorities will also review the structural integrity of nearby buildings as part of a broader safety audit in the Satya Niketan neighbourhood, aiming to restore normalcy for the local community.
