Gurugram: Taking cognisance of the recent incident of building collapse at Greater Noida, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugam (MCG) has begun cracking down on illegal buildings in the district. On Friday, as many as five buildings were sealed by the municipal body.
"Unauthorised building in Surat Nagar, Gali no 1, near Daultabad Flyover sealed to prevent Noida like incident. Officers have been asked to check such buildings and take action. Will inquire why action was not taken earlier to stop construction?" MCG Commissioner Yashpal Yadav tweeted on Friday.
With illegal colonies already a problem in the city, owing to the deep nexus between public officials and builders, developers still look to cut corners to earn profits.
It has often been observed that a common practice, adopted by both small and large-scale builders, to save costs is using poor quality of construction material.
