Delhi BJP leader Praveen Shankar Kapoor has demanded an immediate survey of dangerous buildings in the capital and their evacuation in time, so that loss of life and property can be avoided during heavy rains. On Monday, he wrote a letter to the Commissioner of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi, demanding efforts to prevent accidents due to the collapse of weak-dangerous buildings. He has said that in view of the raging monsoon, the Municipal Corporation should immediately conduct a real survey of the dangerous old buildings and shift the people living in them to safer places.

Incidents of house collapse, balcony collapse, school wall collapse took place in Civil Line, Mukundpur, Seelampur, Srinivaspuri etc. due to rain on Sunday itself. To prevent any such incident, people should be safely evacuated from all possible damaged buildings.
