The site of the building collapse in Old Delhi saw protests this morning by angry locals who claimed that the nexus between politicians, MCD officials and police allowed rampant illegal construction in their locality, even as rescue operations continued.
Chandni Mahal saw women leading sloganeering against the authorities, alleging that politicians and officials were “filling their pockets” by allowing the illegal structures to come up.
Two buildings in the locality, which has congested lanes, collapsed at around 8 pm yesterday due to construction activity in one of them, killing seven persons and causing injuries to at least 25 others. Locals claim that the construction in one of the buildings that collapsed could be illegal.
