India, March 24 -- The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) will soon appoint a private agency to conduct a structural audit of 87 buildings whose demolition was ordered by the Haryana Human Rights Commission (HHRC) last week after a survey in 2021-22 deemed them unsafe. MCG officials said that the 2022 survey is now considered unreliable because the civic body's engineers inspected the buildings after the survey WHY? and found that not all of them deserved to be demolished.

The 2022 survey, conducted by a private agency hired by MCG, identified 183 buildings as "dangerous" of which five were demolished and 60 were repaired. MCG inspection found 87 of the remaining buildings unsafe, while 31 are yet to be inspected, said officials.
