New Delhi: A four-storey building in Delhi's Gandhi Nagar area that developed a sudden tilt was vacated on Sunday, with the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) directing its owner to demolish the structure voluntarily, an official said.
The civic body has asked the owner to carry out the demolition on Sunday, failing which the MCD will initiate necessary action under the applicable provisions, a civic body official said.
According to the officials, the building in Shahdara was immediately evacuated after it developed a tilt, triggering panic among residents in the vicinity.
Police cordoned off the area and prevented people from approaching the structure as a precautionary measure, officials said.
