New Delhi, April 21 -- The collapse of a four-storey building in Mustafabad that left 11 dead on Saturday has again shone the spotlight on the lack of structural safety in mushrooming multi-storey buildings in Delhi's unauthorised colonies.
A lack of adherence to safety codes, lax enforcement and protection under special laws are the key problems, experts said.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police said that their initial inquiry into the building collapse revealed that renovation work - especially, the demolition of a wall - may have been the key reason behind the incident.
Besides, the police also said the rescue operation was called off as they did not find any other survivors after clearing the debris. P5
