The demolitions are part of a broader inspection campaign covering 577 properties to prevent similar incidents.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi conducted a major demolition operation on Wednesday, removing 23 illegal properties while sealing an additional six and issuing three new demolition orders. The action was prompted by two recent tragedies: a June 3 fire at an illegally operated bed-and-breakfast facility that claimed 23 lives, and a building collapse in south Delhi's Saidulajab that killed six people. According to reports from the Chief Minister's Office, the Revenue Department inspected 577 properties between June 5 and June 10 as part of a systematic crackdown on illegal structures. The demolitions represent an enforcement response to address safety violations and prevent further casualties from unsafe buildings.
