Govt mulling third-party insurance system for buildings; 124 properties examined, action taken against violations: CM

New Delhi, Jun 6 (UNI) Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Saturday that her government is seriously mulling a third-party insurance system for buildings, even as different government wings conducted large-scale enforcement drives across the capital, with 124 properties examined and action taken against violations.
The concerted action comes in the wake of the June 3 Malviya Nagar guest house fire tragedy in which 21 people, including 13 foreign nationals, perished and several were injured.
The large-scale campaign against illegal constructions involves demolition of illegal properties, sealing operations, and the issuance of show-cause notices.
