India, April 22 -- Delhi lieutenant governor VK Saxena on Monday ordered a magisterial inquiry into the collapse of a four-storey residential building in Mustafabad's congested Dayalpur area that killed 11 people and injured several others on Saturday.

The district magistrate of northeast Delhi has been tasked with the probe and asked to submit a detailed report within 15 days. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has also been directed to initiate action against field-level officials for any lapses in oversight.

A senior official from the LG secretariat said that the inquiry will examine the circumstances of the collapse, identify any negligence, and assess whether acts of omission or commission contributed to the tragedy.
