New Delhi, April 19 -- Following the tragic building collapse in Mustafabad on Saturday, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari expressed deep concern over the incident, calling it both "tragic and alarming."

Speaking to ANI, Tiwari, who is also the Member of Parliament from Northeast Delhi, alleged long-standing corruption in Delhi's construction sector as a key factor, alleging that for 27 years, no concrete action was taken against unsafe construction practices.

"This is a very concerning incident. We are trying first to evacuate people from the area. But this incident is both tragic and alarming. From what I've learned, a four-storey building was constructed on a very thin wall, and then it suddenly collapsed. People need to be cautious," Tiwari said....
