Innocent lost live in wall collapsed incident, MCD blamed Delhi government

New Delhi: Chairman, Standing Committee, Mr. Mehak Singh today blamed Delhi Government irresponsible behavior for the death of five innocent children in the wall collapsed at Dallupura, New Ashok Nagar.  He blamed that the lackadaisical behavior of the Revenue Department since the wall constructed was more than 4 feet of height.  The repair work of the old wall was going on, which collapsed on the children playing by the side.  He also added that since Dallupura is a rural village that comes under the jurisdiction of Revenue Department of the Delhi Government, the SDM of the area is responsible for any such illegal activities. As per the Delhi Land Reforms Act, 1954, it is the responsibility of area SDM to accord permission to erect boundary wall above four feet.  Mr. Singh asked for the resignation of Minister of Revenue and Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, who is representing Legislative Assembly from the area, on moral grounds for the mishap.

Mehak Singh informed that EDMC dispatched its man power and equipments including JCBs for the rescue operation and removal of malba from the site as soon the accident came to the notice.
